Hmmm. A dead American actor, last name starts with F, died after 1950, didn’t win an Oscar or Emmy, not esp. handsome, not a leading man, was in comedies but not best known for them, born west of the Mississippi. Think think think…

Apologies to KO for ignoring his three questions (the first two of which would have earned DQs), but…

I am neither Peter Falk nor Harrison Ford(?), but yes - I am William Frawley, best known as Fred Mertz on I Love Lucy and “Bub” O’Casey on My Three Sons.

He was actually (according to Wikipedia) best known for being in two TV sitcoms, but I wouldn’t call him a “comic actor.”

And far be it from me, after having used John Philip Sousa as a ‘P,’ to criticise your use of Dulles as an ‘F.’ :slight_smile:

It was a lucky guess.

Now, I am R.
