'''Buddy Hackett''' (August 31, 1924 – June 30, 2003, birth name Leonard Hacker) was one of the better-known actors and comedians in the entertainment world.

Line 26 ⟶ 27:
* [[Fat Idiot]]: A few of his roles fall into this trope.
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[One from Column A and Two from Column B]]: ''Almost'' the [[Trope Namer]], except for [[Memetic Mutation]]. Buddy Hackett had a 1952-vintage [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bf1tCQErbzE stand-up routine about a Chinese waiter taking an order from a table full of (non-Chinese) patrons] through which the phrase entered popular usage, even though the phrase in the routine is actually "two from column A, one from column B".
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Was set to appear in the documentary ''[[The Aristocrats]]'' (as was [[Rodney Dangerfield]]), but died before his parts could be filmed.
** He was approached to replace Curly Howard in [[The Three Stooges]] following Curly's stroke, but he declined.
