Oh (bleep). A dear old friend and former roommate of mine was a co-star on "Dave's World" so I met him a few times. He was such a lovely man.

RIP Harry

The comedy, acting, and magical arts lost a good one.

Much like everyone else, knew him from Night Court.

Bye.

I watched him on Night Court and Dave's World.

65 doesn't seem old to me anymore

RIP

I first saw him on the old SNL shows where he would do his comedy/magic act and was an instant fan. He was one of those guys who made magic cool and funny in the days when it tended to lean towards the cheesy.
