#Trademark
1He often played, for lack of a kinder description, diminutive weirdos
2Writing and reciting short poems, often with sharp satirical or political themes.
#Fact
1His father was of Irish descent. His mother had Irish, German, English, and distant Dutch, ancestry.
2He had three sons: Jon Gibson, a business affairs executive at Universal Pictures; Charles Gibson, a director and two-time Oscar-winning visual effects supervisor; and James Gibson, a screenwriter.
3He has appeared in episodes of four different series which featured witches: Bewitched (1964), Sabrina, the Teenage Witch (1996), Charmed (1998), and Boston Legal (2004).
4The only male cast member of Nashville (1975) to receive a Golden Globe nomination for acting.
5Henry Gibson is actually a stage name - he was born James Bateman. He named himself after Norwegian poet Henrik Ibsen because "...if you say his name with a Southern accent it sounds like Henry Gibson"
6Attended the Catholic University of America with actor Jon Voight during the 1950s. Along with Voight, he developed a comedy routine and came up with the stage name Henry Gibson. Voight used the name Harold Gibson and together they played two southern hillbillies. After this, Voight took up more serious acting whilst Henry Gibson carried on with his comedy routine, eventually landing his famous role on Laugh-In (1967), playing a southern poet.
7So convincing was his southern poet character that Gibson once received a letter from the Governor of Alabama claiming he was "...one of the most exciting talents to come out of Alabama since Tallulah Bankhead".
8Before appearing on Laugh-In (1967), he developed a nightclub act to perform his poems. It was during this time that he developed the character of a southern poet.
9On the Wonder Woman (1975) season one commentary, executive producer Douglas S. Cramer called him a 1960s and '70s comic genius.
10Attended Catholic University of America (CUA) in Washington, DC.
