Sorry Rusty. I thought Paul Hartman was older as I had looked up his age a couple of years ago. He was younger than I remember but still looked older. I think he was a dancer as well.

And he had his 50th birthday episode that year.

I had to stop for a minute to figure out that you meant to say the character Emmett turned 50. Anyway, he did look much older than 50.

He also made a comment in the final episode about inventing something in 1929 or 1932. The 50th birthday in 1968 would mean he was born in 1918, making him an inventor at around age 11 or 14.
