He was especially fond of his role in the "I Love Lucy" episode in which Lucy Ricardo gave birth to her son, Little Ricky. Papa Ricky (Ball's real-life husband, Desi Arnaz) was all nerves while Lane, as a fellow expectant father, was the picture of calm. I wasn't sure who he was until I read this passage. Now of course we ALL know who he was. A wonderful actor...they don't make 'em like that anymore.

Charles Lane, a prolific character actor, sold insurance for a living until his friend, actor Irving Pichel, urged him to try acting. The two friends moved to the Los Angeles area and joined the Pasadena Playhouse. In the 1930s Lane began to take on small roles in movies. His long career included countless roles in movies and television. Lane’s last on-camera role was in a TV movie in 1995, when he was 90 years old.
RIP Mr. Lane.

I just watched the "Lucy" episode where he played the passport office agent, the other night.
God bless him for all the wonderful entertainment he leaves us with
