Evanier: Larry "Bud" Melman, RIP

news from me: "Over in the David Letterman newsgroup, Letterman authority Don 'Donz' Giller has reported the death of character actor Calvert DeForest, who was a fixture of Dave's TV shows, first as Larry 'Bud' Melman on the NBC show and later under his own name on CBS. According to Giller's posting, DeForest died Thursday night from a heart attack after contracting pneumonia."
