Obscure Actors that we rememeber from our childhood

Fred Clark was in a lot of movies and TV, the TV ones I remember

Although he continued performing in movies during the 1960s (including a role in Hammer Film Productions' The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb in 1964 and John Goldfarb, Please Come Home in 1965) he performed more often for television, as a regular on The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show as neighbor Harry Morton (until 1953), and guest roles for The Twilight Zone, The Beverly Hillbillies, Going My Way, The Addams Family,

I Dream of Jeannie. In 1962, he and Bea Benaderet, another Burns and Allen veteran, played Mr. and Mrs. Springer in the episode "Continental Dinner," the series finale of the CBS situation comedy Pete and Gladys, featuring Harry Morgan and Cara Williams. Clark had a regular but short-lived role in the 1966 ABC sitcom The Double Life of Henry Phyfe as the "Central Intelligence Service" boss of a hapless conscripted spy played by comedian Red Buttons.

Oh, that's great. You have some wonderful viewing ahead of you. If you haven't seen it, you must watch Double Indemnity with Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyck, and Edward G. Robinson. It's certainly top 3 noirs of all time. I've watched it 10+ times. It's even got a cameo shot of co-writer Raymond Chandler-- the only known instance of him on film.

Thanks, I'll check it out, but the title is so familiar maybe I saw it? I guess it's just part of the culture.

Roku is a streaming device that allows me to see thousands of different movies over many channels. Movies from the thirties and upwards, plus many famous silent movies, can be found there. It's kinda funny seeing John Wayne 'B' pics before he became famous with Stagecoach. Even stranger was seeing Randolph Scott in a suit and tie urban type movie.

I might add that it is the older stuff we mostly watch - and watch over again, rather than the horrid violence of those made in the past two or three decades. These newer movies contain no value system of belief except the love of raping, killing and exploding cars. A lethal, and mind-numbing destruction toward normal development for any child who sits in front of a tv in their early formative years.

The continuing violence inherent in so much of today's media is also responsible for the near crazies losing control and committing all the random stabbings, shooting, and pushing people in front of subway cars and much more.

But the almighty $$$ rules supreme, so the violence ain't gonna end soon - if at all.

I'm with you on the insipid movies they make now: violence, horror, portraying people as hateful creatures. I don't have Roku but I can usually find or rent older movies on Prime.
