I am trying to find out more about Allan Drake, who appeared in 3 episodes of Sanford And Son. He played Rodney Victor, Fred`s white son in law. Kind of an obnoxious, but interesting charactor. I saw the Internet Movie Database listing for him, but am looking for more info beyond that. I know he was a comedian and that he was on the Tonight Show several times between the late 60s and early 70s. He also was on "Eddie`s Father", "Get Smart", and "The Partners", the latter two with Don Adams. Also learned that in the late 50s, his wife was gunned down while riding in a car with people involved with gangsters or something. Sad story. If anyone has any more info on Allan Drake, let me know. Thanks

Did I type son in law? Should be brother in law.......

In 1986 He passed away. I was trying to find info on him but no luck. Sorry


Shannon~:eek:

Allan Drake died March 8, 1986

He was a radio personality in Baltimore in the early 1960s and he was probably a comedian in Vegas that Redd Foxx took a liking to and brought him on the show.
