- 'The Slow Burn" - he would show great comic frustration by drawing the palm of his hand down his face before exploding.
- Usually played a short-tempered man who often suffered at the hands of his family or whoever his on-screen partner to be
- Towering height, bald head and gruff voice
- As a character actor he rarely smiled on-screen, but in real life he was jovial and friendly and would talk to fans as though they were best friends.
- His most regular golfing partner was Mickey Rooney.
- One of the original Keystone Kops.
- An example of Kennedy in his prime is as the lemonade vendor who has the dubious pleasure of encountering Harpo Marx in La guerra lampo dei Fratelli Marx (1933).
- Died on November 9, 1948, two days before a scheduled testimonial dinner planned in his honor by his fellow actors wishing to toast his career.
- It's a cinch to steal a scene or crab an act if you know the trick in the trade, but it isn't done any more and for very good reasons -- the director is wise to you and reshoots the scene, or it spoils the scene, and nobody goes anywhere. But it's a marvelous stunt to get back at a guy if you don't like him, or you think he's double-crossing you.
- Strictly speaking, I'm not a comedian now. I'm just a character actor in comedies
