I worked on a film Fred was in where he was amiable with the entire crew but what I'll never forget was after I got chewed out in front of the entire crew one day, he went out of his way the next day to ask how I was feeling after the public berating. I was the lowest man on the totem pole in that production but he took the time to inquire. Mr. Gwynne was a class act.
I'm sad to know of his difficulties. He was a very handsome and incredibly talented man. I was never aware of the loss of one son and disability of the other. Mental health is is too overlooked in our existence.
@@mousetreehouse6833 Episodes 14 and 15 of the 7th season, an hour-long episode called 'The Cadillac', with the special appearance of the lovely Marisa Tomei (trivia: she was invited because Larry David thought her surname sounded good)
@GeorgeCostanzais10. Thanks! I'll keep an eye open for it (them?) 🫠 "My Cousin Vinny" is so good that it is shown in colleges to first year law students. Yes, the writing is that good (and every actor is top-notch!).
I bring 62 years old grew up watching this wonderful man act and heard so many different stories he had gone through. I have very very much “RESPECT” for this man.
We're very happy to know that you're a fan of Fred. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
I like the recording star episode with laugh-in star Gary Owens! Every episode of the Munsters shines with the great casting and exceptional writing!👍🏻🤣
As a kid growing up in the '70s and early '80s, watching the syndicated 'Munsters' obviously endeared him to me as Herman. But I will say, his role as Jud Crandall really made me appreciate his acting as a 20 year old seeing the film version of the Stephen King novel, 'Pet Sematary'. The way he said that famous line, "Sometimes dead is better" still has me quoting it with how I recall his accented voice from the film.
I love Fred Gwynn, I watch an episode of Car 54 almost every night. I can't get the Munsters greatly disappointed. He was a great actor. Very talented. ❤
Hi Gianna. Are you trying to find The Munsters on DVDs? If you are maybe a Walmart Supercenter may have some Complete Series sets in stock. They did last August when I shopped the DVD dept. or maybe Barnes & Noble, Amazon or E-Bay. Good Luck.
He's had MANY roles, OBVIOUSLY best know for "Herman" and there's a DAMN GOOD REASON FOR THAT!!! I've seen MANY people TRY to play that role in recreations, re this, or re that. FRED CREATED that role!!! and NOBODY WILL EVER be able to duplicate it!!! The LAUGH!!! The humility for such a monster and giant... There is just flat out NEVER GOING TO BE!!! Another Fred Gwynn. R.I.P.
I loved ❤the show and met the girl who played his niece. She was extremely heart ❤️ warming. She told me a few stories. Fred was extremely talented and uhmazing. I didn't know about his kids.
I really enjoyed everthing I saw him in. I first remember seeing him (and Al Lewis grandpa) as kid in Car 54. I do admit to really loving him as Herman Munster. The show acting, the chemisrty and the writing were fantasic. When they did remakes it just was not the same. Nobody did it better. I still watch today. Munster Go Home I watch several times a year and its a tradition on Halloween. The Munster also had some good lesson such as how to treat people and how to be a good parent. Not to mention its FUNNY. It is a shame he was typecasted he was verry talanted. I did love him in My Cousin Vinny. It was fun seeing him in a different role. But I will never forget Herman Munster. He always brought and brings a smile to my face.
Met him in the early 90s in Vacaville Ca. with his wife. He was fraile but still himself, mostly when saying goodbye to me while leaving, Thank you for making me laugh during my childhood, RIP my friend.😊
Ahhh the greatness of the shows of the 50's 60's and 70's. The Munsters I still watch till this day absolutely hilarious. Also Gilligan's Island, Addams family. Pure Classics. It's Sad Most of the Greats have passed on. Rest in Peace. Thank you For Making us smile and laugh.
Definitely! We feel the same way. Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
Let's not forget how good he was on 'The CBS Mystery Radio Theater'. I've listened to quite a few of them here on youtube, and his vocal acting was superb.
7:50 I was, indeed surprised to learn about his "privileged" upbringing. Learning this info doesn't alter my appreciation of his talent. As a child growing up in the 1960's, I remember very well sharing many laugh's w/my sister watching The Munster's! However I simply loved him in My Cousin Vinnie!! I'm saddened to learn about his suffering from depression & his feelings over being typecast into certain kinds of rolls. Now, as an adult looking back, I think he was perfectly justified to feel the way he did. Knowing this shine's a light on his gifted acting skills. Although being uncomfortable, he persevered & gave 1 outstanding performance after another! Thank you for shining a light on a very beloved actor! ❤
Obviously, he had his reasons for not speaking about his Munster days however he probably never considered how adored he was by legions of fans who would have loved to hear him talk about that show.
I loved him as Herman Munster, but my favorite role is as the judge in "My Cousin Vinnie". "2 youts" is my favorite joke! He was such a lovely man, I'm sorry he was so sad.
Mr. Gwynne’s performance as the hard nosed judge in My Cousin Vinny showed how talented he really was. His accent and performance were nothing short of perfection. It actually makes me wish that he was given more chances to act post Munsters.
The point most of you are missing is the that he gave everything to his roles, regardless of his personal pain or tragedies. The man was and is a quintessential actor and human being.
I didn’t know anything about his upbringing and and tragedy’s in his Family Life. Says a great deal about his character and values. I watched Car 54 Where Are You when I was a Boy with my Parents. Funny how Al Lewis (Grampa Muenster) was a regular on that show too! I enjoyed his talent in everything I ever saw him in. He Shined in “My Cousin Vinny!” 😂 Thanks for sharing! ❤
I had a short writttten correspondence time with him when the adult literacy group i was working with really loved the books he wrote that was ained at children but because of the puns, they worked great with helpinng teach adults to read and understand word meanings. I wrote a letter to Mr Gwynne and told him of my classes love of his books. To my amazement and delight he wrote back. He wanted to know about the books i used and my stidents. We exchanged a few letters and he sent a set of autographed books to me as a gift. This was during the time he was making My Cousin Vinny. My students (and my) favorite books were "A Little Pidgin Toad" & " Chocolate Moose for Dinner"
Was hoping to hear his daughter speaking according to the title. You only said what she said very briefly. If title says daughter speaks out, you should have the person speaking. Title is misleading.
I've been starting to watch the Munsters again on COZI TV. You can see an eloquence in Fred's depiction of Herman. It made the character that much better.
Being born in 1957, I loved the Munsters. The later remakes proved that it takes a LOT more than just makeup to create a great and memorable character. I already know all about Fred, more than most people. This presentation is well done and respectful. The Munsters was not canciled due to lack of ratings! The network did not want to spend the extra money to make the show in color....so they just canciled it. Sheesh. I loved the movie as a 12 year old, but I thought it was crazy not to include Pat Priest in the film.
I’m not surprised ab any of it.He was A great actor & I would think when I saw him on different shows how smart he is to play those roles &always B A hit.I figured he had a great personality
Just listened to the "my cousin Vinny directors commentary" where the director spoke of the studios not wanting him due to the typecast. The director pushed on anyway. Amazing performance.
I was indeed surprised to hear of his high-level upbringing and education. I find that the world sticks to stories, true or not. That is something that's hard to shake at times.
The clip from the Munsters that is going around on social media with him explaining to Eddie ...."you can be white, brown, " is really good. It was not his writing of course but he delivered it well. Always liked him as an actor.
I read somewhere that Fred and Al Lewis were such good friends that Al was with Fred almost every day when Fred was battling cancer; Al reportedly was with Fred the day he died! Nearing the 100th anniversary of his birth Fred’s character that typecasted him will live on; I’m sure Gary Owens has a recording contract and Frank Gorshin has a used car for Herman Munster up in heaven!
As an NYC kid in the late 1950's, Car 54 hit home. I just recently saw the (1961?) Christmas episode. Ya better believe I know all the words to the title song. Jeeze Louise, who sings about Idlewild Airport or Nikita Khrushchev?
I read how talented Mr Gwynn was way back in the day. However, I always loved him as Herman Munster. He was unbelievably funny in that role. They all were The goulish yet all American family that you would loved to meet and hang out with 👍 *.Dont forget Pet Semetary and Fatal Attraction
Yes but nevertheless, Fred Gwynne "Herman Munster" in my book was one of the coolest, the greatest actor/comedians that has ever been.Whether he liked it or not there were thousands and thousands just like me who felt and feels the same way.bHe was also great in "My Cousin Vinnie". As great as Marisa Tomei and Joe Pesci were and they really were, the movie would have not have been half as great of The Judge would have been played by anybody else. He was and will always be to me and many,many others, a Movie Star. God bless you Fred Gwynne. I miss you very, very much. Just one of your million of admirerres, me. P S: And oh yea' I thank you. RIP.
Surprisingly, altho Al Lewis was cast as "Grandpa Sam", born 1367 AD, he was only 3 years older than Gwynne having been born in 1923 to Gwynne's 1926 birth year. I like a lot of people thought him 95 years old at death in 2006, but it was erroneous reporting on the part of the "Newspaper of Record", the New York Times. Something else. Even though Grandpa was made up to look like this cute little old senior citizen, in real life he was quite different. I saw him at length through a friend acquainted with him personally, who introduced us. I was shocked to see how tall he actually was. He had a powerful looking barrel chest like some eastern European acrobat or something. His massive shoulders and upper back seemed intimidating. He only looked diminutive on screen because he was cast next to an actor of Fred Gwynne's size. Michael Gwynne is Fred's brother and they look nothing alike. He is an actor who can be seen in RUclips's The Terminal Man movie of Michael "Jurassic Park" Crichton's 1974 novel about an Elon Musk type brain chip and what it does to one man's life. Michael Gwynne plays an unfeeling doctor.
Did you know Fred Gwynne almost died for the Munsters? Find out why here: ruclips.net/video/_ncgy1G0AKY/видео.html
Did *YOU* know Fred Gwynne appeared in approximately 80 episodes of CBS Radio Mystery Theater????

I bet putting the Herman "face" on him took as long as anything else to get him ready
His children's books are fantastic.
Fred Gwynn will always be Herman Munster to me because that's who I've always known him as since the 60s.
I read somewhere that Fred and Al Lewis were such good friends that Al was with Fred almost every day when Fred was battling cancer; Al reportedly was with Fred the day he died! Nearing the 100th anniversary of his birth Fred’s character that typecasted him will live on; I’m sure Gary Owens has a recording contract and Frank Gorshin has a used car for Herman Munster up in heaven!

Yes but nevertheless, Fred Gwynne "Herman Munster" in my book was one of the coolest, the greatest actor/comedians that has ever been.Whether he liked it or not there were thousands and thousands just like me who felt and feels the same way.bHe was also great in "My Cousin Vinnie". As great as Marisa Tomei and Joe Pesci were and they really were, the movie would have not have been half as great of The Judge would have been played by anybody else. He was and will always be to me and many,many others, a Movie Star. God bless you Fred Gwynne. I miss you very, very much. Just one of your million of admirerres, me. P S: And oh yea' I thank you. RIP.
You are a great RUclips channel, but how can you misspell his last name? It is spelled Gwynne. Just 1 'e'!!! Just 1!!!
I thought his role in "The Cotton Club " was excellent. It showed another side of his talents that was overlooked too much.
Beloved by many.
Surprisingly, altho Al Lewis was cast as "Grandpa Sam", born 1367 AD, he was only 3 years older than Gwynne having been born in 1923 to Gwynne's 1926 birth year. I like a lot of people thought him 95 years old at death in 2006, but it was erroneous reporting on the part of the "Newspaper of Record", the New York Times.
Something else. Even though Grandpa was made up to look like this cute little old senior citizen, in real life he was quite different. I saw him at length through a friend acquainted with him personally, who introduced us. I was shocked to see how tall he actually was. He had a powerful looking barrel chest like some eastern European acrobat or something. His massive shoulders and upper back seemed intimidating. He only looked diminutive on screen because he was cast next to an actor of Fred Gwynne's size.
Michael Gwynne is Fred's brother and they look nothing alike. He is an actor who can be seen in RUclips's The Terminal Man movie of Michael "Jurassic Park" Crichton's 1974 novel about an Elon Musk type brain chip and what it does to one man's life. Michael Gwynne plays an unfeeling doctor.
Loved my cousin Vinny and disorganized crime
