Henry Wilcoxon Film Festival

Let's see. Henry Wilcoxon played Marc Antony to Claudette Colbert's Cleopatra.
He was in Tarzan Finds a Son with Johnny Weismiller.
He was in the Last of the Mohicans with Randolf Scott.
Mrs. Miniver with Greer Garson.
He was Sir Lancelot in a Connectiut Yankee in King Arthur's Court with Bing Crosby.
He was in Dragnet, Sampson and Deliah, the Greatest Show on Earth, the Ten Commandments, the Warlord, F.I.S.T and Caddyshack.

He did guest spots on the Big Valley, I Spy, the FBI, the Wild Wild West, Marcus Whelby MD, and Cagney and Lacy. I was thinking of doing a Henry Wilcocon Film Festival just because most people I know would say "Henry Who?" "He did Tarzan and Caddyshack?" The guy did an amazing number of movies most of them are long forgotten but a few of them are classics. Cecil B. DeMille's Cleopatra is one I'm definately goint to buy next year some time. The next time you watch Caddyshack and you see that old minister playing golf in the rain say "Say isn't that Henry Wilcoxon?" and impress your friends.
