Buchanan had character roles in several sitcoms. He played a cantankerous hermit in Dennis the Menace.

And I love in the opening when Bea snaps one of Uncle Joe’s suspenders to wake him up. She was amazing. God Rest Her Soul.

I also remember a white haired Edgar in a more serious role as Arizona Sheriff Glenn Ford's deputy in one of my favorite but short lived shows, "Cade's County". He was still amusing but not the comedic guy he was in most all other roles. Another great old guy who makes every series he's in, just like Williams Frawley & Demarest and other old dudes I can't think of right now.
