Jay Lawrence. Appeared in a handful of movies such as "Stalag 17", "The Big Chase" and TV shows "Get Smart" and Mayberry, R.F.D" and did numerous voice-over work. His career was likely overshadowed by his older brother, Larry Storch.

Believe it or not, I'm pretty sure I remember Lawrence from appearance (s) on the Dragnet TV show. He strikes me as the kind of 1950s actor who they'd use.

 

[Paco Dennis]

Vic Morrow

 

[Warrigal]

I'm not sure about the obscure part but names that come to mind are Errol Flynn, Stewart Grainger, John Mills and Charles Laughton.

[Time Waits 4 No Man]

Remember this actor...?

In the photo below, the man in the middle outlived actors David White (left) and Dick York (right) by decades.

Recognize him by name? Well, he was born before The Great San Francisco Earthquake struck and years before the RMS Titanic sank. Even Lizzie Borden was still alive at the time of his birth...

His appearances were often distinguished by short, humorous poems he recited during the broadcast, which led to his nickname "the poet laureate of television". He had one of the leading roles in the film version of "The Wiz" as the Tin Man. He was a frequent guest on the "Dean Martin Celebrity Roast."
