Oh yes, I remember him. He did a few series on channel 5 in L.A. over many years. I think in the 80’s he was doing classic movies (the show may have been called “At the Movies) He would do trivia about the movie or the stars in between commercials if I recall correctly. He wore A lot of turtlenecks shirts/ sweaters I think.
