   Well, if his eyes were a little more wide set and if his hair weren’t quite so curly and if he had a deep cleft in his chin, I’d say Clifton ‘Bobby’ Young. But that’s just me.

    Looks like he could later grow up to be Cliff Robertson. But clothing and hair style probably places him in an era too early to be the esteemed actor.

    And BTW: Edward Everett Horton never was young.
    He was one of those great character actors like Sam Jaffe and many others, who were ‘OLD when they were young’. In that way, they never seemed to age on screen.
    Although until recently, I would have put Franklin Pangborn on that list. Leave it to Larry Harnisch to explode that particular myth.

    If his mouth were to double in width, he could morph into Joe E. Brown.
    Brown uttered perhaps the most famous comedy end line in the history of film: “Well, nobody’s perfect” (‘Some Like It Hot’)

    Red Buttons had tight, frizzy hair. “Ho ho, he he. Strange things are happening”
    Billy Crystal did a great riff largely based on Red Buttons in ‘Mr. Saturday Night’. Would have been a fine film, had the make-up not ambushed it. The idea of a youngish man (Crystal), made up as an older man trying to look young, required so many layers that the character simply looked big headed.
