Creator / Art Carney

Arthur William Matthew "Art" Carney (November 1, 1918 – November 9, 2003) was an American actor in film, stage, television, and radio.

He is best known for playing Ed Norton in The Honeymooners, but also won a Best Actor Academy Award for his performance in Harry and Tonto (beating out such heavyweights as Albert Finney, Dustin Hoffman, Jack Nicholson, and Al Pacino), and achieved a certain infamy among Star Wars fandom for his role in The Star Wars Holiday Special.

Reeve Carney is his great-nephew.
