Biography: Paul "Mousie" Garner (July 31, 1909 - August 8, 2004) earned his nickname by acting like a simpering jokester with a penchant for shyness.
He was one of the last actors still doing schtick from vaudeville, and has been referred to as the The Grand Old Man Of Vaudeville.
He also wrote books about his life, his career and experiences with the Three Stooges, and even worked as part of the New Three Stooges in the 1970s. He also worked with Spike Jones and His City Slickers.
In the current age, Mousie played a Stooge in David Lee Roth’s Just a Gigolo music video. Right before his death, he acted as Uncle Smackers, a character in The Onion Movie, a feature film produced by Jerry Zucker, renowned for the Airplane! and Naked Gun series. The film is slated for release by Fox Pictures later this year.
