Who is your favorite bit part actor on S&S?

[Cloud9 Lorraine]

There were quite a few actors that had small rolls throughout the S&S series. For example, Frank Nelson, the "Yesssssss" guy had various bit parts -- he played a waiter in one ep, the owner of the pawn shop in another. You get the idea....

So who was your favorite actor who played the lesser parts?

For me, I loved Fritzi Burr and any roll she played.

I don't know her name, but it was that big woman that Fred went out with (when Lamont and Julio supposedly went to Tijuana). The huge woman who called Fred a jive chump. I LOVED HER!!!

I'll have to give this some thought. There were quite a few good and bad.

I disliked the Whopper Chopper / Lucky Number Scam guy.
I like the tax man / junk dealer guy, (Marvin?), but they gave him lousy lines.
Hutch sucked.
Liked Carroll (spelling?)

I like the white lady who showed up in various roles, and that Fred would always end up insulting about her looks.

Yes, that's Fritzi Burr! I loved her. Especially when she played the nurse in the "Fred Sanford Has a Baby" ep, Season 5. Hysterical.

I liked two bit part characters. I liked the mortician guy that showed up earlier in the series cracking those death jokes, and I also like that doctor that appeared that always said, "I don't know." LOL

Leroy and Skillet were good too.

Damn, I forgot about my boys Leroy and Skillet! They should have been regulars, they brought so much energy to the show!

I liked Dr. Caldwell (Davis Roberts) as well: he said "my fee is $10." Fred gives him $5 and Dr. Caldwell says "when will I get the rest?" and Fred says "I don't know!"....

An interesting statement: When discussing whether or Lamont was gay, the Dr. Caldwell stated "Well, at least no one's died from it!" OH MY, How times have changed!

Ironically, the chain-smoking good doctor (Davis Roberts) died of emphysema in 1993 at the age of 76.

That's "Dr. Caldwell in the upper left of the photo.
When was it taken?....................."I don't know!"

I also liked Mary, "The Light Housekeeper" (Mary Wickes). She was also from St. Louis, but given her background, I doubt the her and John Elroy Sanford (Redd Foxx) were childhood friends. But, "she did make a mean Boiled Mutton!!

[Big Fred Fan]

Gus (Liam Dunn) "A Guest In The Yard" was classic! Dr. Caldwell examined him too!

Oh Yes!!! Wasn't that episode "Fred, Legal Eagle"? Watch this episode and see where Mr. Cochran's shirt collar is in disarray for a good portion of the scene. Not very becoming of a "Lawyer/Tailor"!

Sonny Cochran was played by Antonio Fargas, otherwise known as Huggy Bear!
