But I'm not sure that's where to look. The best bet we're ever going to have are the casting directors who were probably instrumental in putting him there in the first place. Sadly, the two casting directors whose names most commonly appear in the "Schwump" episodes, Marjorie Benson and Ruth Burch, are deceased. The other two are Mike Fenton and Fred Roos. Perhaps they, or in the case of Ms. Benson and Ms. Burch, their families or agencies, have records somewhere, but my money says those records are piled in a warehouse somewhere and no one wants to go look it up. Still, if anyone has any contacts with those two surviving directors or anyone close to the other two, those would be, I think, the best shot we have of finding out who that man really was.
