Walter Tetley (who does the voice of Sherman in the old Peabody and Sherman cartoons) stole the show in Who Done It? as the wise-cracking elevator operator. Anybody know why he was unbilled in this movie??? It's a mystery to me. He was in a few key scenes and had quite a bit of dialogue. And it was a great role, even if it was a small one.
shareThat is a good question. His wisecracks and his hustling of Mervyn was hilarious.
shareBack in the old days, generally only stars and featured players received billing. Tetley was far from the only unbilled actor in the film--Milton Parsons, Ben Weldon and Norman Abbott, among others, also come to mind. Additionally, in Tetley's case, he was originally supposed to be in only one scene, so he was signed as a day player. But Costello liked him so much that he had extra bits written for him--but he was still officially a day player, so no billing.

is this the kid who claimed he could drink orange juice faster than Costello could make it? I'm confused because I thought he was an usher, not an elevator operator. Check the scene when he tries to get tickets for the radio show to two good looking girls.
