Aww, he was a cool guy- he did a great Phil Silvers as T.C. I actually
saw him twice with my own eyes:

1) coming out of my post office as I was on my way in. I must've had a
'hey, you're Arnold Stang' look on my face, because all of a sudden he
had a 'why won't they leave me *alone*? on his...

2) on a flight to LA years back, sitting in first class.

I'll never forget that Mad Magazine mock poster for an imaginary
Hercules-type movie, "Seymour," with Arnold's face on Steve Reeves'
body. (I hope he got a kick of it.) Speaking of which, he once co-
starred with Arnold Schwarzenegger (who was billed as "Arnold Strong")
in 'Hercules in New York - Strong and Stang, together again for the
first time!
