Gale Gordon was an American character actor. Remembered best as Lucille Ball's longtime television foil - and particularly as cantankerously combustible, tightfisted bank executive Theodore J. Mooney, on Ball's second television situation comedy, "The Lucy Show" - Gordon was just as respected for his earlier career in classic American radio, where he was once the highest-paid actor in the medium, even though he was never a top-billed radio star.
