Ron Carey
Oyuncu · 1935 – 2007
Ron Carey (December 11, 1935 – January 16, 2007) was an American actor. He was known as a notably short, Italian, nasal-toned and mischievous-looking fellow, a perfect type for the stand-up comedy circuit and for playing Brooklynesque characters in T.V. sitcoms and films. He earned his Bachelor's degree in communications from Seton Hall University in South Orange in 1956, but moved to near-by New York and took to the comedy stage, finding work in such prime clubs as "The Improvisation". He soon earned notice for his "little man" humor, which was built around Italian family and Roman Catholic "guilt" jokes (in reality, he once considered being a priest). Ron finally gained some momentum on T.V. making various funnyman appearances on the talk/variety show formats hosted by the best of the best -- Jack Paar, Merv Griffin, Mike Douglas, Ed Sullivan and Johnny Carson. He also found lucrative work in commercials playing various feisty or hapless characters. Ron finally broke into films with the Jack Lemmon/Sandy Dennis comedy The Out of Towners (1970) as a Boston taxi driver, then continued on with other minor bits in Who Killed Mary Whats'ername? (1971) and the cult film Made for Each Other (1971) starring Joseph Bologna and Renée Taylor. Earlier Ron appeared on Broadway in the couple's 1968 hit comedy "Lovers and Other Strangers." It wasn't until his work as a secondary staple in Mel Brooks' madcap company that he earned even a modicum of success in films. His participation in the zany parodies Silent Movie (1976), High Anxiety (1977) and History of the World: Part I (1981) occurred during the height of his T.V. fame. Likewise, he went on to deliver a substantial role as plus-sized Dom DeLuise's unsympathetic brother Frankie in Fatso (1980), directed by Brooks' wife Anne Bancroft. As for the smaller screen, a regular player on the summer variety series The Melba Moore-Clifton Davis Show (1972) led to his being cast in the New York-area sitcom The Corner Bar (1972) and the ethnic family comedy The Montefuscos (1975). A steady pay-check was not to be had, however, until he was added to the second season ensemble of Barney Miller (1975) headed by Hal Linden and Abe Vigoda. Ron earned sympathy strokes as Carl Levitt, a brown-nosing, eager-beaver patrolman who yearned to be a plainclothes detective in Barney's police agency, but just didn't measure up because of his vertically challenged stature. Ron, whose character finally received a promotion after the long haul, stayed with the popular show until its cancellation in 1982. Ron died of complications from a stroke at 71 years old in Los Angeles and is survived by long-time wife Sharon.

Film6.4KomediGizem"Yükseklik Korkusu" gerilim filmlerinin, özellikle de Alfred Hitchcock'un 1958'de çektiği Ölüm Korkusu (Vertigo)'nun bir parodisidir. Sapık, Notorious ve Kuşlar başta olmak üzere Hitchcock'un diğer filmlerine de göndermeler yapılır. Bir bakıma "Yükseklik Korkusu" Mel Brooks'un Alfred Hitchcock'a bir saygı gösterisidir. Filmin sloganlarından biri şöyledir:"Komedinin üstâdı bu kez gerilimin üstâdını ele alıyor"
Film6.5KomediBir zamanlar Hollywood'un ünlü ve aranılan bir yönetmeni olan Mel Funn (Mel Brooks) alkol sorunu yüzünden uzunca bir süredir mesleğinden uzak kalmıştır. Artık içkiyi bırakmış olan bu eski komedi filmleri yönetmeni, iki sadık yardımcısı, Marty Eggs (Marty Feldman) ve Dom Bell (Dom DeLuise)'le birlikte eski güzel günlere muhteşem bir dönüş plânlamaktadır: Sessiz bir film yapacaktır. Zarar etmekte olan bir film yapımcısına (Sid Caesar) bu teklifini götürür (tabii bütün bunlar ara yazıyla verilir, çünkü izlemekte olduğumuz konusu 1970'li yıllarda geçen bu renkli film sessiz ilerlemektedir, ancak yine de yer yer bazı ses efektleri ve müzik işitilir). Yapımcı önce saçma bulduğu bu öneriye güler geçer, çünkü yıl 1976'dır ve sessiz filmlerin devri çoktan kapanmıştır. Ancak çaresizdir, çünkü "Engulf ve Devour" adlı bir film şirketini satın almak üzeredir.Yapımcı filmde ünlü Hollywood oyuncularının da yer almaları koşuluyla projeye yeşil ışık yakar
