My buddy Chuck McCann has done about as wide an array of roles and jobs as anyone who was ever in show business. He's starred in movies, hosted TV shows, appeared in sketches, written and directed short films, done cartoon voices, performed stand-up…I don't recall him belly-dancing or working with a trained bear but nothing would surprise me. It amuses me that every time I'm out with Chuck in public, he gets recognized by someone…and it's always for something different.
Sometimes, it's his legendary kids' show in New York. Sometimes, it's all those appearances he's made playing Oliver Hardy to Jim MacGeorge's Stan Laurel. At the Comic-Con, a fellow brought his beloved poster from the movie The Projectionist just so he could get it signed by its star, Chuck McCann. But a lot of people mention the Right Guard commercials…a whole series Chuck did wherein actor Bill Fiore would open his medicine cabinet and find Chuck inside. It all started in '71 with this spot…
