  • RIP Hymie

    To some, he was the voice of Rodimus Prime on the mid-1980s animated TV show “The Transformers,” or Serpentor on the animated “G.I.
    G U T

    There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.

    I was a big "Get Smart!" fan when I was a kid, so I do remember Hymie the Robot ("His father's name was Hymie!" Lol...)

    Funny what people will remember you for, no matter how many other things you do over your career... Rest in peace.

        I was in law school at the time "When Things Were Rotten" was made into a series with Gautier and Dick Van Patten as Friar Tuck (Bernie Kopell from "Get Smart" as "Siegfried" was "Alan-a-Dale"). It was actually a clever series, with guests on it like Sid Caesar (as the ambassador from France).

        Several of Brooks later films were considered weak in comparison to most of the films he did up to "High Anxiety". I always liked his "Dracula, Dead and Loving It!" with Leslie Neilson and Harvey Korman (as "Dr. Seward", whose cure for anything is another enema. "Seward" when asked if he has a reference work about "Nosferatu" says, "Yes, we have "Nosferatu." He turns to the books, "We have "Nosferatu" today!").

        Gautier was also in "Bye Bye Birdie" and "Murder She Wrote". A better than average performer.
