Richard LeGrand

Richard LeGrand (August 29, 1882 - June 29, 1963) was an American actor who was best known for his comedy characters on radio.

Born in Portland, Oregon, LeGrand was backstage working the artificial snow when he made his stage debut to substitute for a missing actor. He continued in theater, doing dramas, musical comedies, tent shows and vaudeville. LeGrand appeared as a variety of dialect characters.

On radio he was a comedy favorite as Peavey the Druggist on "The Great Gildersleeve", and he later was a regular on "Fibber McGee and Molly" as Ole the Elk's Club janitor, beginning February 15, 1949.

He also did roles on "One Man's Family" and the Hollywood version of "I Love a Mystery".

LeGrand also portrayed Peavey in three of the "Great Gildersleeve" movies.
