Harvey Lembeck Facts
Dark, chunky, raucous comic actor of the 1950s and '60s who provided lip service in a wise-guy vein on stage ("Stalag 17"), screen (Stalag 17 (1953), all the Beach Party movies as the inept Hells' Angels-like Eric Von Zipper), and TV ("The Phil Silvers Show" (1955)). Very reminiscent of John Belushi.

New York University graduate of 1947, who got his start in show business as half of 'the Dancing Carrolls', before specializing in military comedy. His acclaimed performance in 'Stalag 17' reprised the role he had previously played on the stage.

Also father of Helaine Lembeck who performed in 14 episodes of "Welcome Back, Kotter" (1975), among others.
