One of the greatest caricature actors who played many a roll on the Jack Benny program such as, the magazine sales man at Union Station, a department store floor walker, and a layer, he also played many rolls on I Love Lucy such as the game show host “Freddy Fillmore” a police chief, a train conductor, Ralph Ramsey and a talent scout. He’s been in so many TV shows and has been known right off the bat on radio by his drawn out Yeeaaassss! The man possessed a gift for polite sarcasm! He could insult you wile smiling and with out using vulgarity. Some of the best “One liners” came from Frank Nelson! With his well groomed appearance and a small mustache, he sure made a name for himself.
Funny thing is, most of us know who he was, we all know him from I Love Lucy and even some bits on SNL but, the number of those who know his real name are limited. I recall talking and laughing about some of the skits he was in, then I’d ask: What was his name? All I got was: Umm, uh, I don’t know, I knew it but, can’t recall!
Well, after a little research on the net, I found him!
Long live Frank Nelson!
