Scoey Mitchell - Biography
Scoey Mitchell (born March 12, 1930) is an American actor, writer and TV director known for frequent game show appearances, starring in the short-lived series Barefoot in the Park (based on the Neil Simon play), a recurring role on Rhoda, and frequent appearances on Match Game. Occasionally his last name is billed as "Mitchlll". He also created two short lived NBC TV series, Me and Mrs. C and 13 East.
Mitchell was born on March 12, 1930, in Newburgh, New York. He started his career on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour in 1967. Mitchell was in What's It All About, World? as himself in 1969.
In September 1970, ABC cast Mitchell in Barefoot in the Park based on the Neil Simon Broadway play of the same name. The series cast members were predominantly black, making it the first American television sitcom since Amos 'n' Andy to have a predominantly black cast (Vito Scotti was the sole major white character). Barefoot in the Park had also previously been a successful 1967 film starring Robert Redford and Jane Fonda. It was thought by ABC that placing Barefoot in the Park behind Bewitched would do well, but because that show was already in a slump Barefoot in the Park never developed high numbers for the network. During its first few episodes, Barefoot in The Park developed behind-the-scenes strife that sealed its fate: Mitchell was fired due to "differences of opinion" with the series' producers. Rather than replace Mitchell with another actor -- and already disenchanted with the low ratings -- ABC decided to cancel Barefoot in the Park in December 1970.
