Personal Quote:

[on his good friend and My Cousin Vinny co-star, the late Fred Gwynne] It takes somebody who's very serious to pull off a character like Herman Munster [from Gwynne's series The Munsters]. It's not simple to play the goof. Fred was not Herman. He was an intelligent, quiet gentleman. See more »

Trivia:

Played by Michael Longoria in the original cast of Jersey Boys. See more »

Trademark:

His characters often have very short tempers and are prone to explosively violent outbursts See more »
