I could get number 12 through imdb.com I’m sure (btw, I really don’t like the way they’ve changed their line-up: they no longer differentiate between regulars on series and guest appearances) but I won’t. But 13/14 I think I can guess as I only know one actor of whom both are true.
Which castmember got his start playing second-fiddle to a large man in a 50s TV show?
Art “Ed Norton” Carney
In what year did he win a major award?
1975 (the Oscar- I really did know this- promise)
Who won 3 awards that year?
Les Nessman (Buckeye Newshawk, Silver Sow, and Tri City Spelling Bee)?
