Kenneth Mars Facts
Recorded a comedy LP where he portrayed Henry Kissinger.

Off-the-wall, over-the-top actor/farceur whose broad schtick was smartly utilized by 1970s directors Mel Brooks (The Producers (1968) and Young Frankenstein (1974)) and Peter Bogdanovich (What's Up, Doc? (1972)) in their best comedies to date.

Familiar face of the past 40 years, famous for his portrayal of a wide range of foreign characters. Best known for his roles as the laughable Nazi playwright Franz Liebkind in The Producers (1968) and the Police Inspector in Young Frankenstein (1974).
