Arnold Stang, a character actor known for his nerdy looks and nasally voice, has died at the age of 91.

He was also the voice for the cartoon character Top Cat and did a widely known commercial for Chunky candy bar.
The diminutive actor appeared in movies alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bill Cosby and continued acting into his 80s, playing a role in the 1993 movie Dennis the Menace.
He died of pneumonia in a Boston-area hospital.

One of the great ones. I'll always remember him best as the gas station attendant who (along with the great Marvin Kaplan) takes on Jonathan Winters in It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Stang.

"Got a letter from a lady in Yonkers, NY wants to hear more Arnold Stang."
-- Albert Brooks, "The D.J."
A memorable character actor and a recognizable name. He was a true classic.

Wow, RIP.
I was thinking about how my earliest memory of him was when he voiced, "Nurtle the Turtle" in "Pinocchio in Outer Space"
