Harvey Herschel Kormen, professionally known as Harvey Korman (b. February 15, 1927) is an American actor born in Chicago, Illinois. He has performed in television and movie productions in the U.S. since 1960. His first big break was being a featured performer on The Danny Kaye Show (1963-1967), but he is probably best remembered for his performances on The Carol Burnett Show (1967-1978) and in the comedy films of Mel Brooks, most notably Blazing Saddles (1974).
His early television work included voice-over work on Tom and Jerry (1965) and The Flintstones (1965-1966). Recently he has done voice work for the live-action version of The Flintstones (1994) as well as the animated The Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue (1998).
Korman has been nominated for six Emmy Awards, and won four (in 1969, 1971 (for Outstanding Achievement By a Performer in Music or Variety), 1972, and 1974). He was also nominated for four Golden Globes, winning in 1975.
Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, the son of salesman Cyril Korman and Ellen Korman, Harvey Korman's been a character actor as long as he can remember.
"In my very first play I played a character part," Korman recalls. "I was in Heidi in seventh grade and I played ‘Sebastien' the English butler."
Artist Biography -harvey Kormen
Encouraged by his seventh grade teacher to attend drama school, Korman joined the Jack & Jill Players, an after school drama program. In high school he became active in the drama club, and after graduating from Senn High School he enlisted in the Navy during World War II. After being discharged, Korman returned to Chicago where his high school drama teacher recommended him for the Goodman Theatre. He was accepted and he spent the next four years gaining a classical theatre background.
"I played Hamlet, and performed in all the great plays including the works of Shaw and Ibsen," Korman recalls. "I also did comedies like Arsenic and Old Lace, and realized comedy was for me."
After graduating, Korman went to New York and began studying with Uta Hagan. Over the next ten years, Korman alternated winters working in restaurants, with trips back to the midwest to do summer stock. When the producers of The Red Skelton Show were casting a play in Chicago, Korman landed a part which would later lead to his appearing in some sketches on The Red Skelton Show. That break lead Korman to a four year stint doing sketch comedy on The Danny Kaye Show, which in turn led to being cast on The Carol Burnett Show.
"I've heard that they actually said they were looking for a Harvey Korman type when they were casting the show, and someone suggested, ‘why not Harvey Korman,'" Korman explains.
Korman spent ten years on Carol Burnett, winning a Golden Globe award, and becoming one of the acknowledged masters of sketch comedy. Korman notes that sketch comedy presents particular challenges that not every actor can handle.
"You learn to work fast," notes Korman. "Yet, it has to have two elements--it has to have truth to it, and it has to be funny."
Korman has gone on to do more sketch comedy on The Tim Conway Show, and has starred in two short-lived series: Leo & Liz in Beverly Hills, and The Nut House. A favorite of director Mel Brooks, Korman's leering "Hedley Lamarr" in Blazing Saddles helped make that picture one of the highest grossing comedies of all time.
Korman's other films include: Trail of the Pink Panther, Radioland Murders, and Jingle All the Way, and he appeared as a regular on television's Mama's Family.
