His most famous still seems to be as the man in the captain’s uniform who sailed over toilet tanks and stated, “Helps clean and deodorize your bowl automatically every time you flush.”

He starred in literally hundred of commercials and dedicated his later years in life to raising money to aid in Parkinson’s awareness and research.
