Comedian/character actor, best known for playing nebbish types in films and on TV.
Father of David Stang.
Got his start in radio as "Jughead" on the "Archie Andrews" Show, replacing Hal Stone who was in the Army during the Korean War. Arnold appeared simultaneously on "Archie Andrews" and TV's "The Buick-Berle Show" (1948).
In the late 1950s and early 1960's he was spokesman for the Chunky Candy Bar and made many Television commercials for that candy bar. His proclamation of "Chunky, what a Chunk o' Chocolate!" was the finish of each commercial and was as well known as any tag-line of its era.
Stang invented and mischievously perpetuated a story that he was born and raised in the Boston suburb of Chelsea. But his wife said he was really raised in Brooklyn. He lived in the Boston suburb of Needham for the past decade, according to the Hollywood Reporter December 22, 2009.
Was cast in a 1980 Sony radio commercial which won a CLIO award for best commercial of the year in its category.
