Think about it lying sideways while drinking a glass of wine.
That helped. James Spader?
Paul Giamatti
So this sounds now like it's
a free post anyway.
Boy, what a delayed reaction. I got it!
I saw Sideways just recently, and had gained a new fondness for Mr. Giamatti. Anyway, this was for Raf. You're clue sailed right over my head and I just caught it now.
Well, that's all I can tell you. It's that guy who often introduces himself to the main character by turning around and saying "Yyyyyyessss?" I picture Lucille Ball as his foil, though I'm sure she's not the only one.

Now I'm pretty sure whom you mean. I just don't remember his name!

Can you remember SOMETHING beyond what Raf posted?

She was neither the first nor last comedian for whom he served as a foil. He did, however, play at least 3 roles

He was looking for it to use as a clue in a game round a few weeks after he was looking for it. Meanwhile, I hope he posts the next one soon.

Well ... yeah. I was about 15 when it came out. (Saw it a couple of years later, when I was in college.) Fonda DID win the Best Actress Oscar for the performance. George

I was tempted to say Honor Blackman, but she was CATHERINE Gale.
I suspect that we're talking about Judy Garland.

Interesting guess, but no.
This should give it away:
Hercules
Sinbad
Cain
Hulk

Unless these are voice-actor roles, a big dude who could pass for Hercules or the Hulk.
Out of those who played the Hulk, Lou Ferrigno did it non-CGI,
so I'm going with "Lou Ferrigno."

A couple of the characters sound familiar, but I can't place them. :(

You may have trouble remembering his name, but you'd recognize him by voice for certain, and probably by face.
He's got a lot of roles with names like "Salesclerk" and the like, but no official name.
I guarantee that if you heard him say a specific word, you'd remember him.
And I would not accept "no" on that suggestion. Noo, I would not.

in the "I Love Lucy" show alone.

For the curious, on that show, he played (of his named characters):
Ralph Ramsey, Ben Benjamin, Freddie Fillmore, Dickie Davis, Henry the waiter,
and Sergeant Nelson.
(Unnamed characters were: Customs Officer, and Conductor.)

Well, he was balding, but with dark hair, an aquiline nose, and usually had a big smile with his "Yessss."

His name was "FRANK NELSON."
("Sgt Nelson" shared his last name.)
He did voiceover work for a number of cartoons (like the Flintstones) through the decades.
He began in RADIO and was a foil for Jack Benny, among others.
Often imitated, but never quite duplicated.
Ok, whichever one of you 2 can have it. Raf had the 1st specific answer, but if he's not in the
mood to post, George can take it.
