Why he might not be annoying
His sad droopy face looked like a basset hound.
He was an Italian who could easily play the role of either an Italian or a Jew.
He was accidentally cast in his first TV role on 'Green Acres' when the producer thought he was someone else.
He took an acting class with Penny Marshall. Her brother Garry was so impressed by him that he cast him on 'The Odd Couple,' 'Laverne & Shirley' and 'Happy Days.'
His nose was used as a comedic prop. Many times on the 'Odd Couple' they would just open the door and the only thing visible was his nose. It usually got uproarious laughs.
In an episode of 'Odd Couple' he played a scene with just his nose through the peephole. It cracked star Tony Randall up that he barely could compose himself. He quipped that he was the comic relief on a comedy.
He opened 'Big Al's' dinners in the midwest.
His likability was instantly conveyed to the audience.
He replaced the very popular Pat Morita on 'Happy Days,' but got high audience approval.
