GARY BURGHOFF | 78

If you’re a fan of the comic strip Peanuts or the adorable Charlie Brown or Snoopy, then this man might be familiar to you. Gary Burghof portrayed the role of Charlie Brown in the musical You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown in 1967. He also joined the cast of the 1970 comedy war film, MASH. Apart from acting, he is also a professional jazz drummer.

He was part of the band group The Relatives in 1968, whose singer is the well-known actress Lynda Carter. They became friends, and they appeared together in the hit series The New Adventures of Wonder Woman. Gary is such a great actor who got six Emmy nominations and won the award in 1977 for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. But what’s even more interesting to a huge degree is that he’s an inventor of a fishing tackle, a toilet seat lifting handle, and a new type of fishing pole, which are all U.S. patents.
