Veteran comedian Larry Storch, best remembered for starring on 1960’s F Troop, has passed away at 99. The death was officially announced on his Facebook page this morning.
Storch was born in 1923 in New York. As a teenager, he started doing stand-up earning $12 a week. After serving in the Navy during World War II, he was discovered at Ciro’s (now The Comedy Store) in Los Angeles by none other than Lucille Ball. A big staple of his act was his impressions that included Cary Grant, Claude Rains, Frank Morgan, and Basil Rathbone.
As an actor, Storch is best remember for his role in F Troop, where he played Corporal Randolph Agarn. He also starred on the 1975 children’s show The Ghostbusters, which pre-dates the Ivan Reitman movie by almost a decade.
If you had a television show in the 1960’s or 1970’s, there’s a good chance Storch made an appearance on it. Other credits include Gilligan’s Island, The Love Boat, Car 54, Where Are You?, Get Smart, Married with Children, That Girl, I Dream of Jeanie, The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, Gomer Pyle, Fantasy Island, and even as the voice of The Joker in Batman, among countless others.
Storch had a career that spanned from the 1940’s all the way until his last public appearance last July. Check out some highlights from his long career below.
