RIP LARRY STORCH 1923-2022

The great comedic actor has passed away.

Larry Storch was an actor I had grown up with since a very early age. I believe he was in everything you could inamgine as far as film and TV genres go.

Storch began his long career in movies and TV in the 1951 film "The Prince Who Was A Thief". He did hundreds of voice overs in 1962 and 63 and appeared in many various movies such as "The Great Race", "The Monitors", "Airport 75" and the one I loved best was 1980's "Without Warning".

His biggest claim to fame was TV however and he appeared on "Gilligan's Island", "Married With Children" was the voice of Drac in the "Groovie Ghoulies" cartoon show, plus he even had a role in the first episode of "The Night Stalker as a TV newsman. The episode was entitled "The Vampire". His best remembered role was as Cpl. Randolph Agarn on the comedy smash "F Troop". He also voiced Phineas J. Whoopee on the cartoon "Tennessee Tuxedo and Friends".

A true talent and very funny man indeed. He passed away on July 6th, 2022 at the age of 99. He will be misswed, but what a legacy he leaves behind.
