Ronald Ralph Schell (born December 23, 1931 in Richmond, California) is an American actor, stand-up comedian and cartoon voice actor. Early in his career he appeared as himself as a contestant on You Bet Your Life opposite Groucho Marx, demonstrating a comic barrage of jive talk.
Perhaps Ronnie will always be best remembered for playing 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. He then returned to Pyle as a Corporal for it's fifth and final season. He used this experience to refer to himself self-deprecatingly in his stand-up routine as "America's slowest-rising young comic."
His other television credits include Megas XLR, Phil of the Future, Grim & Evil, Yes, Dear, The Wayans Bros., Step by Step, Coach, The Golden Girls, 227, Saved by the Bell, Empty Nest, Mr. Belvedere, Santa Barbara, Trapper John, M.D., Shirt Tales, Too Close for Comfort, The Love Boat, Alice, Mork & Mindy, One Day at a Time, Charlie's Angels, The Dukes of Hazzard, Sanford & Son, Emergency!, Happy Days, Adam-12, Love, American Style, The New Dick Van Dyke Show, That Girl, and The Andy Griffith Show.
