GilLamb (1904-1995) was an American comedian and actor
with 60 movie and TV shows to his credit. Rubber-limbed and faced, Lamb got
his show biz start as a vaudevillian in the 1930s, entertaining audiences as an
eccentric actor and an act, his most famous, where he pretended to swallow a
harmonica. He got his start in movies in 1935's Roof Tops of
Manhattan. His roles included support roles and specialty players in
Paramount musicals like The Fleet's In (1942) and Rainbow Island
(1946) and as Humphrey Pennyworth in a series of films based on the Joe
Palooka comic strip - a puzzling choice, as Pennyworth was obese in the
strip. Lamb starred in a series of two-reel comedies at RKO Radio between 1949
to 1952, then returned to radio, with guest starring roles in TV shows and
un-credited cameo appearances in Disney productions. He also hosted the TV
variety show Window on the World (1949). Fine
