KEENAN WYNN
Keenan Wynn - an American character actor and member of a well-known show-business family. His bristling moustache and expressive face were his stock in trade as an actor.

In the 1959-1960 television season, Wynn co-starred with Bob Mathias in NBC's The Troubleshooters, an adventure program centred about unusual events regarding an international construction company. Wynn played the role of Kodiak, the "troubleshooter," to Mathias's Frank Dugan.
Wynn took a dramatic turn as Yost in the crime drama Point Blank with Lee Marvin. He played Hezakiah in the 1965 comedy The Great Race. He was the voice of the Winter Warlock in the holiday classic Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town and was in several Disney films, including Snowball Express and The Shaggy D.A.. He had an uncredited role in Touch of Evil.
He appeared in Francis Coppola's musical Finian's Rainbow, Sergio Leone's epic western Once Upon a Time in the West, and Robert Altman's critically acclaimed Nashville.
