Sphere: Related ContentAllan Melvin, a character actor best known for playing Sam the Butcher on “The Brady Bunch,” has died. He was 84.
Melvin died of cancer Thursday at his home in the Brentwood section of Los Angeles, said Amalia Melvin, his wife of 64 years.
The jowly, jovial Melvin spent decades playing a series of sidekicks, second bananas and lovable lugs, including Archie Bunker’s friend Barney Hefner on “All in the Family,” and Sgt. Bilko’s right-hand man Cpl. Henshaw on the “Phil Silvers Show.”
…
His other credits include several guest appearances on “The Andy Griffith Show,” “Gomer Pyle: USMC,” and “The Dick Van Dyke Show.”
In addition to Amalia, Melvin is survived by daughter Jennifer Hanson and grandson Jon Hanson Jr. A daughter, Mya, died in 1970.
