Would You Still Enjoy "Carlton" On 'Rhoda' If Foster Brooks Kept The Role? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

He was offered the role and accepted the role of Carlton the doorman but before filming dropped out! Anybody know why? Are you glad he did quit?

I didn't realize Foster Brooks ever had the role. Foster Brooks was famous for playing drunks (which Carlton was) but for me Lorenzo Music will always be Carlton!

I'll glad he turned them down. For some reason I like imagining Carlton as drunk orange cat.

I can't imagine hearing any other voice for Carlton!

That's why the Garfield movies weren't as good as the specials/TV series, Lorenzo had such a unique voice that you can't imagine anyone else doing Garfield or Carlton.
