I remember him from Seems like old times. He's always was in a Goldie Hawn movie back in the day

When he tuned up Johnny Fever. Something along the line: Yo mama! I'll have your ass! I will kick your white ... .... ....

He was phenomenal in HBO’s The Corner.

Gary’s Blues was painful. The best hardest show to watch on HBO. Just did a rewatch a few months ago. Ed and David are true masters of the craft

I’ve been trying to find it for years, where were you able to see it? I recorded it on VHS back then but I haven’t the slightest clue where that tape is.

Yep, I rewatched the episodes on YT. Go for the most watched ones as some of them had issues with playback for whatever reason

I was just thinking about and Wikipedia'ing his 1983 sitcom, *Just Our Luck*, in which he played a genie, a few months ago. I associate that with such a carefree time in my late pre-teen years. Thanks, Mr. Carter.

Also loved him as Chester in “Seems Like Old Times.” “That how it works, Chester?” “Not in my neighbourhood…”. 😂

“Where’d you get that hat?” “On a chauffeur” LOL Quite an entertaining actor. Very sad he left so soon. What a loss. Rest in peace, sir. Thank you for bringing some smiles our way during your time here.
