Goulet-ed to Rest

Or
Came-plot
Office workers prone to late afternoon naps can rest easier. Robert Goulet has died of complications of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Best known as the American baritone from Canada in such Broadway hits as Camelot, where he played Sir Lancelot, Carousel and South Pacific, he sold out in a long run in Las Vegas starting in the 1970s. His slicked back, jet black hair and stage moustache gave him the easily parodiable appearance of a telenovela archnemesis, and he was not above mocking himself, battling Frank Drebin as evil industrialist Quentin Hapsburg in The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear before getting eaten by a lion, headlining at Bart’s Casino with a performance of “Jingle Bells, Batman Smells” that brings down the house, getting launched through the roof by Beetlejuice, and appearing as himself in the Christmas special within Scrooged. Other career highlights included getting executed by firing squad as a special guest star on Police Squad, singing the Canadian national anthem at the beginning of "WrestleMania VI" in Toronto and starring in the unsold pilot Acting Sheriff as a small-time actor who becomes sheriff of a small Northern California town.
