Ugly Dave Gray

His unique stage name came from his wife, who joked that her husband was so ugly, he made her look attractive.

[on asking to leave Dottori agli antipodi (1976) to work on Blankety Blanks (1977)] I had to go to Crawfords [sic] and hand in my notice. They were furious because they'd built up my part. I suggested my character leave town, to leave the door open. But I had a heart attack behind the bar and died! It was their way of telling me 'You're never coming back!'
