	Al Lewis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Al Lewis (30 April 1923 – 3 February 2006) was an American actor best known for his role as "Grandpa" on the television series The Munsters.

	Talk:Al Lewis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Al Lewis was born in 1923, not 1910.
		Lewis has also been criticized for misstating his age on a voter registration form-claiming to be 75 rather than 88-which he chalked up to an attempt to 'counter the rampant age discrimination in the entertainment business,' according to The Times." Seems even Al admits to manipulating his age.
		Lewis continues to coax from us through sitcom perpetuity, or diminish the passion he demonstrated as an advocate for reform and the Green Party candidate for governor in 1998, when he was 88 -- that is, 75.

		Lewis said that he learned his politics from his illiterate mother, who worked in the garment trade.

		Al was also very scholarly and fluent in Yiddish, which he used during his borschtbelt schticks, regaling his audiences with gossip and funny stories about his friends, which included Mafia chieftans like Gotti.
		Al was incredibly supportive of many people, including me when I was a Green Party candidate and organizer against pesticides and genetic engineering.
		Among the many issues that Al took on, the fight to get rid of the onerous Rockefeller drug laws in New York (in which people have been imprisoned for 20 years and more for first offense nonviolent drug charges) was dear to his heart.

	Al "Grandpa" Lewis Dies @ Blogcritics.org
		Lewis is said to have worked as a circus performer (a clown riding a unicycle and trapeze artist) in the late 1920s prior to attending college and earning a degree in child psychology.
		Al Lewis was more than a one note actor, but he welcomed the notoriety of his campy Dracula-like "Grandpa" character.
		One of the amazing things about Al Lewis (one of many) was that his TV series work - as a regular in a series - lasted a grand total of four years between 1961 and 1966, and the part he is best know for was on the air for a year less than "Gilligan's Island".
