Guy Marks
Comedian, Musical Artist
1923 – 1987
Who was Guy Marks?
Guy Marks was an American actor, comedian, singer and impressionist. A familiar face on TV sitcoms and variety shows of the 1960s and 1970s, he appeared regularly on The Ed Sullivan Show, The Merv Griffin Show, The Dean Martin Show, The Mike Douglas Show and The Joey Bishop Show. He had a natural gift for mimicry, and his impressions of celebrities such as Humphrey Bogart, Gary Cooper, Boris Karloff and many others were considered among the best. But he also could imitate a housefly on a slippery oil cloth, or neon signs, alligators, driftwood furniture, rubber bands, frozen chickens, frogs, praying mantis and his favorite, that of an ostrich. All of which often found their way into his act or in characters he played on TV.
