I'm going over my current daily three post limit but if you guys remember the character Larry 'Bud' Melman from Late Night (or Late Show) with Davide Letterman. The actor Calvert DeForest died today at 85.From BreitBart.com...
Calvert DeForest, the white-haired, bespectacled nebbish who gained cult status as the oddball Larry "Bud" Melman on David Letterman's late night television shows, has died after a long illness. The Brooklyn-born DeForest, who was 85, died Monday at a hospital on Long Island, Letterman's "Late Show" announced Wednesday.According to this article DeForest made his last appearance on the Late Show in 2002 when he turned 81.
He made dozens of appearances on Letterman's shows from 1982 through handling a variety of twisted duties: dueting with Sonny Bono on "I Got You, Babe," doing a Mary Tyler Moore impression during a visit to Minneapolis, handing out hot towels to arrivals at the Port Authority Bus Terminal.
"Everyone always wondered if Calvert was an actor playing a character, but in reality he was just himself—a genuine, modest and nice man," Letterman said in a statement. "To our staff and to our viewers, he was a beloved and valued part of our show, and we will miss him."
