I grew up watching Schallert, but like you, Mike_J, I never fully appreciated his comic side until Joe Dante brought it out. Dante had so much fun with Schallert, Kenneth Tobey and Kevin McCarthy!
You shall be missed, Mr. Schallert.

Goodnight good sir.
I really enjoyed him over the years and knew his name well.
I envy that in Dante's MATINEE he got to say "human/insect mutation is far from an exact science... "

Ironic that he would die the same year and outlive the star on "The Patty Duke Show". R.I.P. William Schallert.
