Actor Born: 1924 in Brooklyn, New York City, NY Biography:Owl-eyed, adenoidal character actor "Marvin Kaplan" became an English teacher after studying at New York University and Brooklyn College. Following World War II service, Kaplan attended playwrighting classes at USC, which led to his participation in community theatre. It was "Katharine Hepburn" who selected Kaplan for the small but telling role of the hapless court stenographer in "Adam's Rib" (1949). He continued accepting movie and TV supporting parts in the 1950s, usually playing bookish, bespectacled milquetoasts. He is best known to TV sitcom fans as Henry Beesemeyer on the weekly yockfest "Alice" (1976-1985). Two generations of cartoon fans remember "Marvin Kaplan" as the voice of Choo Choo on the Hanna-Barbera series "Top Cat", a role he has continued to reprise on such animated series as Yogi's Treasure Hunt and "Wake, Rattle and Roll" into the 1990s. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
