Sol on Dick Van Dyke


The actor who played Sam on the Brady Bunch is not the same actor who played Sol Pomerantz on Dick Van Dyke. IMDB has an incorrect listing.

Sam did play Harrison B Harding on 1 episode.
Sol was Rob's mechanic buddy from the Army.

I need a correction.

I think there are 2 actor's filmographies that got combined.
Sol was probably the voice of most of those cartoon characters.

If you're referring to Allan Melvin, that was the same actor on both shows. He also played a recurring role as Archie's pal Barney Heffner on All in the Family.

You are right! I was looking for the actor who played Sol Pomeroy on Dick Van Dyke, which was Marty Ingels. My mistake. He also did a lot of cartoon work, including the voice of PacMan. Thanks!

Good old Marty Ingels . There's a "whatever happened to--?" name for you!

And yes, Allan Melvin was one of those famous 'ubiquitous' faces (and voices) on television throughout the Sixties and Seventies. There was a time you couldn't turn on the set without seeing or hearing him somewhere. Same with Marty.
