Fred Willard, an American comic fixture from 1950s Chicago, left an indelible mark on improvisational and scripted comedy with his appearances in Christopher Guest's mockumentary films and the sitcom "Everybody Loves Raymond." His roles in "This Is Spinal Tap," "Waiting for Guffman," and "Best in Show" are as iconic as his Emmy-nominated turn as Hank MacDougall on Raymond. Willard’s quick wit and versatility, honed at The Second City, ensured his comedic presence was both unpredictable and warmly familiar, making him a beloved figure in the entertainment industry until his death in 2020.
