I used to watch the Addams Family every time it came on. One day it was replaced with the Munsters. My brother and I were really mad, until we watched it, then we were converted Munster fans.

ping! (especially for New York FReepers - I believe Al Lewis had been a local NY politician over the years)

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.

Biography for
Al Lewis (III)

Birth name
Albert Meister
Mini biography

In the late 1920s, Lewis worked as a circus performer, but ultimately decided on college, earning a Ph.D. in child psychology from Columbia University. He taught school and wrote two children's books. In 1949, at the suggestion of a friend, Lewis turned to acting and joined the Paul Mann Actor's Workshop in New York. Lewis worked in burlesque and vaudeville theaters across the country, which eventually led to Broadway. By the 1950s, television was booming, and Lewis took advantage of the work appearing on almost every live show out of his homebase of New York City. His most famous regular TV roles were Officer Leo Schnauser on "Car 54, Where Are You?" and Grandpa on "The Munsters". When these shows ended, he opened a restaurant in New York called Grampa's in Greenwich Village. He has since produced a home video for children and appeared on WTBS in a series of Saturday morning programs for children.
