“Sometimes, I walk out on stage, and you can hear from the balcony, 'Hey, Agarn!’”

#LarryStorch (1923–2022) would have been 100 today.

He was an Emmy nominee for #FTroop, a character actor in films like #TheGreatRace (1965), and a voice actor in cartoons like #TennesseeTuxedo (as Phineas J. Whoopee).

#FTroop was one of those forgotten '60s sitcoms that was on syndication every afternoon when I was a kid in the '70s, and it was...not good. Can't even imagine what the Woke crowd would make of this show. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/08/arts/television/larry-storch-dead.html
Larry Storch, Comic Actor Best Known for ‘F Troop,’ Dies at 99
