A white American (possibly Canadian) actor from late 70/early 80s typecast as the dumb, zany guy in movies and tv.
Stephen Stucker?
All his funny lines from “Airplane”

35 years later and he still makes me laugh just reading his lines and remembering…
No, not “Johnny” from Airplane.
The guy I’m thinking of was younger and had a full head of curly hair.
He wasn’t actually younger, but he looked younger: Dack Rambo?
Tommy Sexton?
I’d say Dack Rambo, Brad Davis, or even Robert Reed if not for the zany part.
Tom Villard had abundant curly hair, guested in quite a few sitcoms and died of AIDS.
Merrit Butrick? He starred in Square Pegs, but was also famous as David Marcus, Admiral Kirk’s son in Star Trek II and III.
That’s a good call
Do any names on Wikipedia’s List of Celebrities with AIDS ring a bell?
That’s him!
Thanks
You’re welcome. 
Moving this to CS.
Thanks for the link. He was hilarious.

Thinking of my gentle, zany, wise friend Tom Villard as his birthday approaches. So glad to see your posts Waltzes With Cacti and Marion_Wormer. So glad to see that he is remembered.
Al Traina?
Here he is on $1000,000 Pyramid
