In Memoriam: HAMILTON CAMP (1934 - 2005) - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Sorry, Monkeemavens; I must drop another B-52 on ya...

Hamilton Camp died suddenly on October 2, 2005. He is survived by 6 children and 13 grandchildren.

Hamilton Camp was an actor, a singer, and a songwriter. His acting career started at age 12 in 1946; his music career began in 1960, when he and Bob Gibson made their mark on folk music.

In the spring of 2004, he appeared as Sir Andrew Aguecheek in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night At A Noise Within in Los Angeles. F. Kathleen Foley, writing for the LA Times, said this of his performance:

"Hamilton Camp, who plays the buffoonish courtier, Sir Andrew Aguecheek, is bar none the funniest character in the show. A master of the discreet double take, Camp is outrageously silly but never cheap, always keeping his wackiness well within the confines of Taborl's realistic construct." - LA Times, March 26, 2004

In July of that year, Hamilton appeared in A Midsummer Night's Dream at The Hollywood Bowl, and reprised his role as Snug The Joiner in the production at A Noise Within in Los Angeles during the Fall. During the summers of 2004 and 2005 he coached theater games in Door County, Wisconsin.

In January, 2005, he traveled to the Washington, DC area for appearances at The World Folk Music Association annual benefit concerts (January 14 & 15), and a concert at Jammin' Java on the 16th.

He finished work on the movie Hard Four in the spring of 2005, and just completed a new original album scheduled for release later this year.

With consummate skill, wit and and abundance of talent, he bridged these two disciplines throughout his life, and leaves a wonderful legacy of music and films.

We Monkeemavens are well aware of Mr. Camp's said legacy, as he is remembered by us as Philo in Episode No. 31 of The Monkees TV series, “The Monkees At The Movies” (prod. #4727, aired on NBC April 17, 1967).

Who was Philo again? Was he the assistant to Kram, the director?

I like how in that episode you see Krams director chair that says "Kram" and Philo's chair says something like "Yes Sir".
