You Know The Voice: Hal Smith (1977)

Hal Smith (Davey & Goliath) was doing a lot more live-action work in the 70's. He appeared in one of the Afterschool Specials that introduced Timer, for example.

Here, though, Hal appears on Redd Foxx's short-lived ABC variety show in 1977, playing a talent agent, I think, who brings along beer salesman Raymond J. Johnson, Jr. (Bill Saluga). Billy Barty, one of the busiest men in Hollywood at the time, is along for the ride as Raymond's sort-of Mini-Me, well before that name was coined by Mike Myers for Verne Troyer's character in the "Austin Powers" movies.
