My experience is that most people outside the TAGS community actually seem to 
know Allan Melvin best as Sam the Butcher.  He's also well known as Sgt. 
Hacker and as the voice of Magilla Gorilla, and during the 1950s he played one 
of 
Sgt. Bilko's corporals on "The Phil Silvers Show" (and does some of the intros 
on the Silvers DVDS that came out recently).  And don't forget he was Archie 
Bunker's friend and neighbor on "All in the Family," and in one episode Archie 
accidentally ran over his dog.
