RICH LITTLE, born in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada in 1938, also known as "The Man of a Thousand Voices", is a Canadian comedian and actor who specializes in impersonations of politicians and celebrities. Little began performing in night clubs at age 17. After performing in Ottawa's Little Theatre and working as a disk jockey, Little was asked by Mel Tormé to audition for a variety show he was producing for Judy Garland. This was Little's big break, and he went to frequent appearances on variety and talk shows, along with frequent appearances on Dean Martin's Celebrity Roasts. Little is known for the sheer number of impersonations that he could do, with TV specials on the networks and cable devoted entirely to his impersonations. Little also has acting credits in over 50 movies and TV shows. JAMES BEST (1926-2015) played character parts, often a bad guy, in many film Westerns, including Seven Angry Men (1955), Ride Lonesom (1959) and Firecreek (1968). But he could also play other roles, including a psychiatrist in Three on a Couch (1966) and a cross-dresser in Ode to Billy Joe (1976). He made many TV guest appearances, but may be best remembered from his role as Sheriff Rosco Coltrane from The Dukes of Hazzard (1979-1985), engaged in countless unsuccessful car chases. Best is a cousin of the 1950s rockabilly duo, Don and Phil Everly. Toned at edges, Right edge lightly frayed. Otherwise, fine condition.
