OK, I'll rephrase - *I* knew his name :)

I knew his name as well... please shmokes, don't speak for anyone but yourself.

I watched "The Wild Bunch" a few years ago specifically because I was curious to see him in a more serious movie. My memories of him (fond ones) was of playing lovable losers in low quality productions. It was quite interesting to see him in that type of role.
I agree with others that mentioned his Spongebob appearances. I just love that my kids can laugh at him and Tim Conway without knowing who they were.
