Guy Marks - Biography
Guy Marks (31 October 1923 – 28 November 1987) was an American actor, comedian, singer and impressionist. A familiar face on TV sitcoms and variety shows of the 1960s and 1970s, he appeared regularly on The Ed Sullivan Show, The Merv Griffin Show, The Dean Martin Show, The Mike Douglas Show and The Joey Bishop Show. He had a natural gift for mimicry, and his impressions of celebrities such as Humphrey Bogart, Gary Cooper, Boris Karloff and many others were considered among the best. But he also could imitate a housefly on a slippery oil cloth, or neon signs, alligators, driftwood furniture, rubber bands, frozen chickens, frogs, praying mantis and his favorite, that of an ostrich. All of which often found their way into his act or in characters he played on TV.
Marks made his first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show on May 29, 1960. From that point on he appeared dozens of times throughout the 1960s and 1970s on popular variety shows. His big break came when he was cast as a regular on the 1962–63 season of The Joey Bishop Show. Marks appeared in the first 19 episodes of the show's second season as Freddy, manager to Bishop's character, when he was suddenly replaced. Newspapers at the time reported conflict between the show's star Bishop and his second banana Marks. Bishop denied it in the press, and many years later would go on to have Marks on his popular late-night talk show.
In 1977 he starred alongside Billy Barty in a sitcom pilot called "Great Day". It told the story of a group of homeless who contemplate taking jobs to help save their soon-to-be-foreclosed mission. On an episode of Police Woman called "Blind Terror" that aired in 1978, Marks appeared along with Sandra Dee and the show's star, Angie Dickinson. In 1980 he lent his voice along with Rip Taylor to an animated short called Don't Miss the Boat. In 1981 he was working with Lucille Ball again, in the only project she ever directed, the unsold pilot for a sitcom called "Bungle Abbey". Marks' final role on TV was a featured one in the 1986–87 sitcom You Again? as Harry, a poker-playing friend to the show's star Jack Klugman.
Marks died on 28 November 1987, at the Atlantic City Medical Center Division in Pomona, NJ. At the time he was living in Brigantine, New Jersey. He was 64. Marks was married at least three times, once to Barbara Thomas then to a Kathleen and again to Judy Marie De Salle. One of these marriages produced a daughter. At the time of his death he was survived by two brothers and five sisters. Contributions in his name were offered to the American Cancer Society.
