Revision as of 10:32, 4 March 2007 by Davidkevin (talk | contribs) (You Bet Your Life appearance)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Ronnie Schell (born Ronald Ralph Schell December 23, 1931 in Richmond, California) is an American actor and stand-up comedian. Early in his career he appeared as himself as a contestant on You Bet Your Life opposite Groucho Marx, but he is best known for playing the part of Private Duke Slater on the Jim Nabors vehicle Gomer Pyle, USMC. He played this role for three years, starred as a disc jockey for one season in his own sitcom, Good Morning, World and then returned to the role of Duke on Gomer Pyle, albeit now promoted to Corporal. He used this experience to refer to himself self-deprecatingly in his stand-up routine as "America's slowest-rising young comic." Science-fiction and Anime fans recall Mr. Schell as the voice of "Jason" on the TV cartoon Battle of the Planets. He played the friend of Donald in an episode of That Girl in which he sold a 'used' engagement ring to Donald who gave it to Ann Marie (Marlo Thomas).
