   I never thought he was a great actor but did well enough as a straight   
   man to scene-hogging Redd Foxx that he impressed me with his comic   
   abilities.   
      
   I never read this. In alt.obituaries, it said the actor's first name was   
   Grady, and the character played by the hysterical Whitman Mayo was named   
   for him. I have no idea if it's true.
