  • Alan Sues is a U.S. comic actor best known for his performances as part of the ensemble on the 1968-1973 television program Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In. Sues' on-screen persona was campy, outrageous and contained verbal slapstick; typical of his humor was a skit that found him following a pair of whiskey-drinking cowboys to a Wild West bar and requesting a frozen daiquiri. Sues' recurring characters on the program included Big Al the Sportscaster and Uncle Al the Kiddie's Pal. He studied theatre at the Pasadena Playhouse before he made his Broadway debut in the stage play Tea and Sympathy, directed by Elia Kazan, which had a very successful run in New York City. From that, he was able to get more work in stand-up comedy (at Reuben Bleu and Blue Angel, both clubs in Manhattan), worked with Julius Monk, and joined an improv/sketch group with The Mad Show, which led to his being cast in Laugh-In. Outside of Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In, Sues is also well-known for appearing in the classic Twilight Zone episode The Masks. He also had supporting roles in the films Move Over, Darling (1963) and The Americanization of Emily (1964). After Laugh-In, onstage he portrayed Moriarty in Sherlock Holmes (opposite John Wood, and later Leonard Nimoy), which, according to Sues, was "one of my favorite roles, because it's so against type, and I loved the makeup. " The makeup for Moriarty was used in several books about makeup as an example of shadowing and technique.
