    RIP David Lander

    David Lander, "Squiggy" on 'Laverne & Shirley,' dies at 73



    (LOS ANGELES) -- David Lander, best known for his role as Andrew “Squiggy” Squiggman on the 1970s sitcom Laverne & Shirley, has died at age 73.In a statement, his family confirmed Lander passed away Friday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center “after bravely fighting multiple sclerosis for several decades.”

    Lander and fellow actor Michael McKean developed what would eventually become their fan favorite
    Laverne & Shirley characters, Lenny and Squiggy, as college students together at Carnegie Mellon University. They portrayed the goofball upstairs neighbors of the title characters, played by Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams, for all eight seasons of the ABC sitcom, which ran from 1976 to 1983. Squiggy's well-timed entrances, with his signature "Hello!" were a comedic staple on the show.

    Lander and McKean also appeared together in Steven Spielberg’s 1979 war comedy
    1941 and the 1980 Robert Zemeckis film Used Cars, and they both voiced characters in the Nickelodeon children’s series Oswald. In 1979.

    I didn't realize that he had MS. Poor guy. RIP Squiggy.
