Nor a FAN of, really, but one character I do know of is Jack Putter in "Inner Space" who is indeed Martin Short. You are correct. I just wanted to save some time before WordWolf got back to it.
That's him. Oliver Putnam is a role he's playing now, in "Only Murders in the Building." His character is one of two who are elderly fans of mystery solving. They're going to try to solve murders. Since they're not up to the rigors of investigation, they're only going to solve murders that happen in their own apartment building. (I SWEAR I'm not making that up.)
This guy's movies are far more famous than his characters' names.
I find that that's usually the case, with the exception of one or two iconic roles. Take Harrison Ford. Boatloads of movies, but other than Indiana Jones and Han Solo, I couldn't name another character he's played, though I could list several movies.

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.

Refreshing the page after submitting works, too. George

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 would have thought the last entries would give it away.

How many people have been Morticia Addams? I don't know who did the cartoon voice, but I can only think of two live actresses.

Those seem cowboy-ish roles.
Gene Autry?

Not Gene Autry.
This guy's movies are far more famous than his characters' names.
I'm also fairly confident not one of these characters is a cowboy.
