Mini Bio of the life of actor Fred Gwynne. He was most famous for playing the role of Herman Munster on the TV sitcom "The Munsters". With commentary and reaction. - Розваги
My Cousin Vinny as the judge is a classic. A talented actor.
Loved Fred in "My Cousin Vinny" Great actor. I Loved when he asks Vinny...... *"WHATS A YOUT'"* ❓ 😂
A fine actor -both comedy and dramatic and an excellent artist
The Great "*HERMAN MUNSTER* " Loved The Munster's. watched them faithfully every week on CBS! Although in B&W I loved it! Fred Gwynne played the part to a Tee!
I just loved the books he wrote and used them in my classroom often. They were so clever and fun and the kids loved them!
Loved him in The Munsters when I was little, oh so long ago. ❤
What a likable person he was. He seemed to be a genuinely nice and humble man. I was to have seen him on the silver screen and television.
Wow! I hear that he died on July 2nd, 1993. That is my Birthday! When I read that, I remembered exactly what I was doing that day! It was my 30th Birthday, and I was a flight attendant for American Airlines, and came home for my b-day, and I had to fly back to San Francisco, because I lived their at the time (I was based there.) Anyway, I will be 61 on July 2nd. So hard to believe that he died 31 years ago.😢
I LOVED watching the Munsters! It was my favorite show to watch when I got a little older. (The show ran for 3 years ('64-'66,) so of course, I had to watch re-runs.)
R.I.P. Mr. Gwynne.😢💔
How I had heard the story for Punky Brewster was that Soleil Moon Frye seeing Fred for the first time, looked up at him and asked aren't you Herman Munster? Which prompted him to leave. He secretly did like the character but publicly would never speak about it. He would draw a caricature of Herman for fans of the show who wrote him letters and would sign it as Herman. That alone should say how kind of a person he truly was and what his fans meant to him.
I did not know he was only 66 when he passed, Car 54 and the Munsters were staples of my youth. His kindness could be felt in all his roles, RIP Fred
I lived local to Mr. Gwynne. Now follow me here. My uncles x wife’s sister was married to Mr. Gwynne. Everything I ever heard about him was great. Apparently he was a super nice man.
Thanks for the memories
I had no idea he went to Harvard. Good video. Thanks
fred was so gifted, he was also in a lot of the CBS radio mystery theatre episodes hosted by the late and great E G marshal
I had not seen him since the Munsters, until he appeared at the end of the Michael J Fox movie, The Secret of My Success. Wow, it's Herman Munster! Then he was in several movies, until I heard he died. I was sorry to hear about it, but glad he had a comeback.
Yes, I do remember Fred Gwynne. He was good in films as well as sitcoms. Favorites were "Car 54 Where Are You" as well as "My Cousin Vinny." Good to see you again, Steve.
I will never forget him. I loved every Munster show and movie and also his earlier shows as a policeman. he was wonderful actor. I wonder why he decided to be buried in an unmarked grave. If anyone know the answer, I wish you would tell it.
Wow something I didn't know about the southern start.!😮 I thought he was doing an affection in My Cousin Vinny and Pet Semetary. -Just Another..."one of my favorite Munster episodes and Fred's too. I used to call it "Good Lookin' Herm" before I knew the title 🤓😎✌🏼
Well Steve, it's always a pleasure when you post a video. Thanks again.
More to come! I hope. I got monetized again.
@@TheLifeandSadEndingI hope so too. I was going to ask you about that.
@@TheLifeandSadEndingSo happy for you, Steve!
One of my favorite Munsters episodes is where Herman is a ham radio operator and he thinks he's contacted Mars...I'm also a radio ham
My favorite Munsters episode is, "When a Martian calls, hang up." I like the episode because I am a ham radio operator.
Disorganized Crime was his best film role.
I liked the one where he played baseball (dodgers?)and either tore the cover off the ball or set it on fire when he hit it.too funny. Mr. Ed did one also, I remember a lot of the la dodgers at the at time were in that one.
I fondly remember the Munsters. My favourite episode was when Herman and Grandpa mistakenly think that Lily is pregnant. That was good, innocent humour. Btw I love your voice, it is so calming and reminds me of yesteryear America! Thank you for your lovely and reflective videos. Best wishes rom the UK
Very well done lots of good information.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hermy was a gentle soul
Jus found your channel. Very unique, interesting and well written with lots of little-known facts and anecdotes about the subjects, - subscribed.
Thanks and welcome!
I still watch The Munsters on Peacock sometimes. I especially loved him in Pet Cemetery. Didn't know about him being a children's book author.
❤ Love him. Rest In Peace Fred. I watched him on Car 54 where are you. Thanks Steve.🇺🇸⭐️🙏🏼 Great Actor and His Service for our Country.
RIP FG -- always HM❤😂🎉😂❤.
My favorite episode was Thanksgiving, great show with a lot of laughs.
Thanks again for a another sad ending.👍
When he was interviewed, people would mention Herman Munster, he would politely say that he'd rather not talk about that gentleman. But if you asked him about his art , children's books , he would brighten up.
He also designed the logo for Al Lewis's Restaurant "Grandpa's " (a caricature of Al)
He was pretty great as the judge....
rip

I have a lot of great Memories of Mr . Gwynne on The Munsters and My Cousin Vinny . That's one of my all time favorite Movies . Thanks for putting this together . Love your Channel . Hope you're doing well . 🎸
Doing good. I got monetized again. Thanks for watching and tell your friends!
Patrick O'Neal was in one of the Columbo movies, and I always thought it was Fred Gwynne (they seem similar to me).
Thanks Steve.
I ENJOYED THAT.
You just made my day. I am old and doubt myself sometimes.
Never doubt your self my friend you are a good entertainer.@@TheLifeandSadEnding
Enjoyed your video. I watched him from time to time. There was a time I did not watch much unless it was Gunsmoke, Have Gun will Travel, sometimes Sea Hunt, and a list of cartoon shows. Again, I really enjoyed your video.
Did you say Yutes? Always saw a kind soul in Fred Gwynn. Rest in peace.
I did say Viddy instead Vinny. Lol
@@TheLifeandSadEnding OH JEEZ, UR GONNA GET A MILLION UA-cam KNOWALLOGISTS TO CORRECT YOU!
He also played in Munsters Go Home.
Steve, you’re a silly man sometimes.
Glad you’re back making videos!
I loved the go kart grand pa built. Herman wrecked it.
And that's the way is !!! Walther Cronkite. CBS news.
He was in more movies & shows that I remember. Car 54 was funny
Cotton Club 👍🏾
Interesting. Fred Gwynne was typecast. I watched The Munsters. Wonderful Cast. Fred was great in one of his notable Film Roles in My Cousin Vinny. If only his Agent;fellow Thespians;and the Powers to be in Hollywood Tooked a More interest?
👍
you should do one on Jimmy Durante. Inka Dinka Doo
👍👍
66, my age. Huh, I thought he was a lot older. Maybe it was wishful thinking. I grew up on the Munsters and can fully understand his being type cast, the same way Nimoy was.
I believe Dom Deluise plays a doctor in that Episode! My favorite Ep. is the one where he is mistaken for a bank robber... & has to figure out how to return the loot the teller gives him! & I LOVED him in 'The Cotton Club'! He played a surprisingly intimidating gangster!
Yes, I wrote down cotton club and then forgot it. oops.
@@TheLifeandSadEnding Sounds like something I'd do!
He went to Harvard? Thanks for this story. As far as too where his grave is as long as toy know the cemetary just say a prayer to him and he can hear it. I loved Pet Semetary but not my Cousin Vinney.
I don't feel bad for Fred Gwynne. He wasn't megastar famous, but he will always be remembered.
Fred Gwynne will always be the BEST Herman Munster in Hollywood History!!
He was the greatest Frankenstein- him and Boris Karloff.
I wonder why he has an unmarked grave.
Disorderly Crime.
It was Disorganized Crime. Very happy you knew that.
