He certainly found his niche on the Burnet show but he didn’t excel anywhere else and we live in a world that’s seen Charlie Chaplin, Peter Sellers, and....

Nielsen backed into comedy. He started off as trying to be a normal dramatic actor, but he hit a ceiling in the mid 70s until Airplane that he did for a paycheck. He found out that he was good at comedy because he could keep a straight face and pull off the Frank Drebbin type character .

Conway was always comic.....always going for the laugh which he could always get with Harvey Kormann .....who could pull off over the top comic characters like Hedley Lamarr.

Bob Newhart anyone?

I remember his scene as a radio operator in "Hell is for Heroes." One of the funniest things I have ever seen.

I found Ritter about as unfunny as Bob Saget.
