Biography

American actor Jack Mullaney was the perennial comedy relief, not handsome enough to be the hero or sobersided enough to be taken seriously. He bumbled and stumbled around in several youth-oriented film comedies, notably as Vincent Price's dimwitted assistant in Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine (1966) and Elvis Presley's careless sidekick in Tickle Me (1965). Mullaney was better known for his TV work, almost always in "goofus" roles: he played bellhop Johnny Wallace on The Ann Sothern Show (1958), was tanglefooted supply officer Lt. Rex St. John on Ensign O'Toole (1962). and showed up as all-thumbs research scientist Dr. Peter Robinson on My Living Doll (1964) Jack Mullaney's most fondly remembered TV stint was on his worst series: he was Hector, the nonplussed time-travelling astronaut on Sherwood Schwartz's 1967 bomb It's About Time. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
