charlie callas dead at 83

[PETE'S BROTHER]

LAS VEGAS – Charlie Callas, a versatile comedian whose zany faces and antics made him a regular for more than four decades on television, in films and on casino stages, has died in Las Vegas. He was 83.
Callas died Thursday at a hospice, according to his sons Mark Callas and Larry Callas.
Callas was a rubber-faced, wiry framed comic whose rapid-fire delivery drew laughs and made him a frequent guest on variety and comedy shows.
"Everybody that met him, he left them with a smile," Mark Callas said.

If you didn't know any better, you'd have thought he played guitar for the Stones.



RIP, Mr. Callas.

No idea who he was.

I didn't either by the name. Then once I saw pics I started to remember more & more. Kramer in Seinfeld took a little bit from this guy. I'm sure his influence still lingers in a lot of older comedians.

I found him to be quite hysterical.

I would say God is laughing right now.

RIP Charlie. You were fucking ace!
