| Biography
Having caught the theatre bug early in life, Charles Nelson Reilly studied for his craft at the Herbert Berghof-Uta Hagen studio. While scrounging for acting jobs in the 1950s, Reilly supported himself as an usher, mail clerk and hospital orderly. In 1960 he was cast in a minor role in the Broadway musical Bye Bye Birdie, understudying stars Dick Van Dyke and Paul Lynde. The following year, he played nasty "corporate nephew" Bud Frump in the Pulitzer Prize-winning musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, a characterization that won him a Tony Award. In 1964, he received the New York Critic's Circle award for his work as juvenile lead Cornelius Hackel in Hello, Dolly.} During this period, Reilly showed up in such Manhattan-based TV programs as {#The Steve Lawrence Show}, and also performed a cabaret act with his friend {$Eileen Brennan}. In 1968, he was cast as Cleymore Gregg in the network sitcom {#The Ghost and Mrs. Muir}, a role that typed him ever after in fussy, snippy, sarcastic roles. He went on to appear in the comedy ensemble of the 1970s variety series {#Dean Martin Presents the Golddiggers}; he starred in the Saturday morning kiddie shows {#Lidsville} (1971-74) and {#Uncle Croc's Block} (1975-76); and, along with {$Richard Dawson} and {$Brett Sommers}, he served as a semi-permanent panelist on the long-running quiz show {#The Match Game}. More recently, he has been active in the field of cartoon voiceovers, performing in such animated feature films as {#All Dogs Go To Heaven} (1989), {#Rock-a-Doodle} (1992) and {#The Troll in Central Park} (1993), and in TV cartoons like {#Smurfs} and {#Spacecats}.
