LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – [1] Character actor Calvert DeForest, best known for his dead-pan appearances as the pudgy, bespectacled everyman Larry “Bud” Melman on David Letterman’s late-night TV show, has died at age 85.
DeForest died on Monday at Good Samaritan Hospital on New York’s Long Island after a lengthy illness, Letterman’s production company announced on Wednesday.
