I never really cared for Roland Young, he seemed the same in every film. On the other hand Tim Conway, now we’re sort of talking.
Roland has never been on the Oracle of Bacon Top 1000 and withstanding any miracles I doubt he ever will. These are the actors on the 2020 list he appeared with and yes there are some.
