Jack Burns - Biography
John Francis "Jack" Burns (born November 15, 1933) is an American comedian and voice actor. By the 1970s, he had transitioned to working behind the camera, as a writer and producer on such comedy series as The Muppet Show and Hee Haw. He also had many roles as a voice actor.
During the first half of the 1965-1966 season of The Andy Griffith Show, in an attempt to replace the Don Knotts' Barney Fife character after Knotts left the show, Burns was cast as Warren Ferguson, a dedicated but inept deputy sheriff. His character was not popular, and was dropped after eleven appearances.
He hosted a 1977 episode of NBC's Saturday Night Live, the first to carry this title (the show was initially called NBC's Saturday Night), after ABC's Saturday Night Live with Howard Cosell - a different program - was canceled.
He teamed with Lorenzo Music to provide the voices for a pair of crash test dummies respectively named Vince and Larry in a series of United States Department of Transportation public service announcements that promoted the use of seat belts. Distributed by the Ad Council, the advertising campaign ran from 1985 to 1998. In 1993, Burns starred in the cartoon-series Animaniacs, as the voice of Sid the Squid, giving the character a raspy, Daffy Duck kind of voice. Schreiber also appeared on the show, as Beanie the Bison.
