American stage actor and comedian, who later got in trouble with the law for impersonating an officer in 1953. Later operated a theatrical school in Chicago. According to his draft card Ted was 5'7" tall. The height of 5'10½" comes from the 1953 article w/police report. I personally fail to see how a difference of three inches can be mistaken unless it was for a child growing into adulthood? |
