Biography

Dave Willock was an American character actor who appeared in more than 180 films and television shows between 1939 and 1979. Born in Chicago, he began performing in vaudeville in 1931 as part of a comedy song and dance act with his boyhood friend Jack Carson, and made his screen debut in an uncredited bit part in Good Girls Go to Paris (1939). He later wrote for Carson's radio show and, from 1943 to 1949, played Tugwell, Carson's nephew, on The Jack Carson Show. He and Cliff Arquette had radio and television programs, both called Dave and Charley. On television he played Harvey Clayton in the 1961 to 1962 season of Margie and had several roles on Green Acres, mostly clerks or elevator operators. He was best known as Baby Jane Hudson's father in What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962). He also did voice work for animated series including Wacky Races and The Roman Holidays.
