Re: Allan Melvin dies.
Jesse,if you've ever watched The Brady Bunch (as Rose mentions here) he played Alice the housekeeprs boyfriend Sam Franklin (or Sam The Butcher) for about 10 episodes or more in the five year series.
Maybe his names not familiar to some but that's what makes them character actors. Their face is familiar but their name escapes you. Melvin also was "Drooper" on the late 60's /early '70s Sat. kids show "The Banana Splits Adventure Hour". 3 men in funny animal costumes bumbling around and introducing cartoons.
Melvin has a resume' a mile long,jus check it out on IMDB.
He'll be missed for his great humor and wonderful cartoon work.
