#Quote
1I still think of myself as an actor. In the radio days, I was busy playing rotten Nazis, rich uncles and emotional juveniles -- the whole span -- and the only time I tried to be funny was at parties.
2I couldn't make the Dramatic Club [in high school] because my algebra was so bad."
#Fact
1He had a son, Peter, with his wife, Anita.
2He died at his home in Los Angeles after a long battle with lung cancer.
3Was one of the three "men on the street" on Steve Allen's show. The other two were Don Knotts and Tom Poston.
4Destiny led Louis to meet Carl Reiner while entertaining troops in World War II. Both had entered the Army as regular soldiers, but due to their talents were soon assigned to Special Services, performing in shows across the Pacific. The day they met heralded a turning point in modern comedy. Together they developed a mutual magic for original, entertaining sketches that carried them into their long comedic careers.
