I've spent many hours laughing at the characters Kenneth Mars portrayed in Young Frankenstein, The Producers, and Malcolm in the Middle. There are certain pieces of celebrity news that my father is actually interested in and this is one of them. Bummer.

ah I'll remember him... he also in For Keeps with Molly Ringwald. and I saw him in my favorite TV show Malcolm in the Middle with Francis.

so

Such a great talent. A terrible loss. RIP.

RIP

What's Up Doc is one of my favorites..."Euuuuuunice"

I enjoyed many of the characters he played though the years. I especially got a kick out of his "Fernwood Tonight" character--W.D. 'Bud' Prize and the "chinodontics" contraption he had strapped on his chin to reduce the size of his chin.

A truly hilarious and underrated comedy.

I had forgotten about his being in What's Up, Doc? and on Fernwood Tonight! Great calls, guys.

A name I didn't immediately recognize but a face I did. RIP.

RIP, loved him in The Producers.

Gonna be hard to imagine Veronica without her dad.
