	Actors - Richard Haydn

Richard Haydn (March 10, 1905 – April 25, 1985) was a comic actor in radio, movies, and television.

He was known for playing eccentric characters, among whom were Edwin Carp, Claud Curdle, Richard Rancyd and Stanley Stayle. Much of his stage delivery was done in a deliberate over-nasalized and over-enunciated speech pattern.

He was a regular on the Burns and Allen radio show. In April 1, 1964, he reprised the Edwin Carp character, a poet and an expert on fish, in an episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show which saluted several old-time radio performers.

He played the role of "Maximilian Detweiler" in The Sound of Music
(1965), a generally "straight" character albeit with comic overtones.

Richard Haydn's last movie appearance was in Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein
(1974).
