Hartamophone Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 I wondered if a Les Lye thread would get any love around here. Rest in peace, Barth. Thanks for making my youth that much more entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartamophone Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Is that "You Can't Do That on Television"? Indeed. Les Lye was a mainstay of the show, and played pretty much any male character over 25 they needed.Apparently Rich Little - who was an old friend of Lye's - told him that he could easily get him in the showbiz door south of the border, but Les Lye had zero desire to leave Ottawa.
