Schreibers dead, know what I mean, huh?

[Moonmad27]

That's a shame. I saw Schreiber and his wife at the local Gelsons grocery store in the San Fernando Valley not long ago. Now I regret not saying something to him when I had a chance.

Ban Doritos!

First, Wendy's Guy dies
Then Dorito guy. Who next?
Pillsury dough boy?

[william clark]

Nice guy. I met him a few years back when he was appearing in an LA revival of the Gershwin musical "Strike Up the Band." He arranged for some comp tickets for me.

Two fast food guys in a row. Who will be third?

[aruanan]

He was also the villain on My Mother the Car.

Dave Thomas (Wendy's Ceo) and now Avery!!?...fun, delicious food is not going to be the same! Bless the men of palate euphoria!

(Sorry, Army guys live on their stomach, hence doritas and double-stacks.)

"His forte, his wife said, was skewering politicians in his standup routine."

I had the good fortune of knowing Avery Schreiber professionally -- a thoroughly delightful gentleman. And, not to dismiss his wife's observation, but Avery's real forte was dealing with children.

The Doritos commercials, he said, allowed him the financial freedom to do what he really wanted to do -- which was working with children. He and his wife ran a special school for children who had been disabled in some way...and Avery himself footed a large portion of the bill.

And when he came to my home for dinner one night, with all the ad and film guys, Avery spent most of the evening down on the floor, playing with my children -- then aged 5 and 3. They had a lot of fun...all three of them.

God blessed us with Avery Schreiber. Now, it's my turn to say a prayer for him. Not that he needs me to...

I remember him fondly from my youth...he seemed to be on every Saturday morning TV show.
