I don't know if anyone noticed this, but Robert Ridgely also played Boris the Hangman from Blazing Saddles. :)

Yeah, I realized this the first time I saw the film. Here he is credited, at least. I wonder why not the first time? Also, he had an eye patch in Saddles as well.

In this one, I notice that the hangman is impersonating Fred Gwynne as the Mad Hatter in 'Alice In Wonderland.'

I like to think they were ancestors -- hangmen by trade.
