Sammy Petrillo, a nightclub comic who built his career mostly on his striking resemblance to Jerry Lewis and a spot-on impression of him — much to Mr. Lewis’s ire — died on Saturday in Bronxville, N.Y. He was 74 and lived in Tuckahoe, N.Y.
…
orn in the Bronx on Oct. 4, 1934, Mr. Petrillo was one of two sons of Abraham and Anne Jackowitz Patrello. His father was a dancer who performed at resorts in the Catskills.
Mr. Petrillo is survived by his mother and a brother, Marvin.
