Which actor played Fred Mertz on “I Love Lucy” and Bub O’Casey on “My Three Sons”?
Robert Young
William Frawley
Fred MacMurray
Steven Douglas
William Frawley was an actor best remembered for playing landlord Fred Mertz in the sitcom “I Love Lucy,” and housekeeper Bub O’Casey in the comedy series “My Three Sons.” Despite his success on screen, Frawley was known for his cantankerous personality off-screen, likely exacerbated by his struggles with alcohol. Despite his personal shortcomings, he and Desi Arnaz ended up lifelong friends. When Vivian Vance learned of Frawley’s passing, she was reported to have shouted, “Champagne for everyone!” Arnaz, on the other hand, took out an ad in a newspaper with the tribute, “Buenos noches, amigo.”
The correct answer is William Frawley.
