The character he was best known for was Dwayne F. Schneider on One Day at a Time - that's Schneider in the picture in the OP.

With Mark Hamill as Schneider's nephew!

He voiced The Atom in several 60s cartoons for DC Comics and was also Inspector Clouseau.

See? We can learn things even when we're making goofy, mindless jokes about GoT!

But never associated with that familiar face.

One of the problems I'm having these days is recognizing the older versions of actors and actresses I knew when I was younger. Damn, they've aged!

The exception was Doris Roberts. She looked exactly the same for as long as she was a "known" actress to me. I think I will try to emulate her.

Harry Morgan was another one. He looked the same (to me) in the M*A*S*H finale as in the first episode of Dragnet!

Take a look at the series of photos of him from 1942 to 2002 on this page: http://www.aveleyman.com/ActorCredit.aspx?ActorID=12348

He was amazing!

Former Fox News personality and George W. Bush press secretary Tony Snow. Died from cancer in 2008.

No doubt a tragic way for anyone to go, and my condolences to his family.....but in strictly in terms of politics, you know nothing, Tony Snow.
