Just curious.

No hes still alive but hes like eighty.

passionsfan79 · 06-03-2006, 09:52 PM

I didn't think so.

Brian Damage · 06-03-2006, 11:45 PM

I'm just asking because I haven't heard or seen him in years. I at least thought that he would've done the Very Brady Christmas special.

BuddyHinton · 06-04-2006, 03:58 AM

Never cared for him anyway

I did like the actor in the Andy Griffith Show when he played the bully towards Barney Fife

I guess I misunderstood the question. I thought the poster was asking if the
CHARACTER "Sam the Butcher" died (not the actor, Allan Melvin).

By the way, besides on-screen roles in such series as SGT. BILKO, THE ANDY
GRIFFITH SHOW, THE BRADY BUNCH and ALL IN THE FAMILY, Allan Melvin was
also the voice of such cartoon characters as Magilla Gorilla and Bluto (in the
last series of Popeye cartoons)!

PrettyinPink55 · 06-04-2006, 12:16 PM

I liked him best on All In The Family

gilligan fanatic · 06-04-2006, 01:06 PM

I was reading a while ago and I think his last credit was on Tale Spin in 91. That was 15 years ago

tv star collector · 06-04-2006, 02:11 PM

I just learned that Allan Melvin (born Feb. 18, 1922) is alive and is 84.

Mr. Television · 06-04-2006, 02:18 PM

I thought I read that he recently did a commentary for the Sgt. Bilko DVD.

What kind of character did he play on Sgt. Bilko?

He played Cpl. Henshaw, a member of Bilko's platoon.

Don't forget, Allan Melvin also played Sgt. Hacker on Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C.

tdr · 06-04-2006, 10:59 PM

Yes, on Gomer Pyle he was Sgt. Hacker, both a platoon leader and the mess sergeant. Of all the times Sam and Alice got made at each other, didn't Alice ever offer to introduce him to her cousin Emma, who should be more like him

?
