Ronnie Schell Dies: ‘Gomer Pyle: USMC’ Actor Was 94
He was number 359 on the list.
Ronnie Schell, a prolific TV character actor perhaps best
known for his portrayal of the amiable Pvt. Duke Slater, pal of Jim Nabors’
hayseed Gomer Pyle on the ’60s sitcom of that name, died of natural causes
today at UCLA Hospital in Los Angeles. He was 94.
His death was announced by family.
Born Ronald Ralph Schell on December 23, 1931, in Richmond,
California, Schell began his show business career while a senior at San
Francisco State University when he auditioned at the city’s famed Purple Onion
nightclub as a stand-up comedian.
Signed for a five month stint, Schell, after graduation,
began playing other clubs in the area, including North Beach’s Hungry I,
Bimbo’s 365 Club and Fack’s 11 Jazz Club. He would later play some of the most
prestigious hotels and casinos in Las Vegas, where he performed occasionally
until his death.
The first of nearly 150 TV credits was an appearance on the
Grouch Marx game show You Bet Your Life, and while still playing supper clubs
in New York City, Chicago and around the country, Schell found his signature
role playing the friendly Duke from 1964-1969 on Gomer Pyle: USMC, the hit
spinoff from The Andy Griffith Show starring Nabors as the former Mayberry
resident who bumbles his way through a stint in the Marines. As Duke, Schell
provided the small-town Gomer with a somewhat more worldly city boy pal.
Other roles soon came, including a recurring character on
Marlo Thomas’ That Girl as the title character’s always striving agent Harvey
Peck. In 1967 he co-starred with Joby Baker on the one-season sitcom Good
Morning World as a morning drive radio disc jockey duo. The series also
featured a young Goldie Hawn.
Other credits from the era include appearances on Love,
American Style, The Patty Duke Show, Arnie, The New Dick Van Dyke Show, The
Girl With Something Extra and many others. He worked steadily throughout the
’70s (Sanford & Son, The Dukes Of Hazzard, Charlie’s Angels, One Day At A
Time, Mork & Mindy), the ’80s (The Love Boat, Too Close For Comfort, Sledge
Hammer!, She’s The Sheriff) and beyond. His more recent appearances as a guest
performer were on General Hospital, Yes, Dear and Disney’s Phil of the Future.
Schell also appeared in more than 24 films including
Disney’s Gus, The Shaggy D.A., and The Devil and Max Devlin, and Carl Reiner’s
Fatal Instinct. He provided voices on such animated projects as Jetsons: The
Movie and Rover Dangerfield as well as TV series including Battle of the
Planets, Shirt Tales, Smurfs, Goober and the Ghost Chasers, and many more. He
also appeared with Tim Conway in the video feature Dorf Goes Fishing.
Schell acted in many TV and radio commercials, and was the
spokesman for San Francisco’s BART. He landed his first national CLIO award for
his Kemp’s Ice Cream commercial, and in 2002 received the first California
Standup Comedy Legend Award. He was also inducted into San Francisco State’s
Hall of Fame.
Recently he starred in the 2019 Off Broadway musical comedy
revue Don’t Leave it All to You Children!
He appeared on the May 28, 1959, episode of the TV quiz show
You Bet Your Life, hosted by Groucho Marx. Schell demonstrated a comic barrage
of beatnik jive talk. As a stand-up comedian, he first developed his act at the
hungry i nightclub in San Francisco, California, and is heard (presumably as
the opening act) introducing the Kingston Trio at the start of the group's 1962
College Concert album.
Schell is survived by wife Janet, sons Gregory and
Christian, and granddaughter Chiara.
No services have been scheduled at this time.
