About this rating
This interesting tidbit goes viral from time to time as social media users share images from one of Freeman's lesser-known roles: Freeman made regular appearances on the show during its run between 1971 and 1976 where he played a variety of characters, such as"Count Dracula,""Marcello,""Easy Reader," and the above-pictured"Mel Mounds." This image comes from the 26th episode of the Electric Company that originally aired in November 1971.
At the audition, Freeman was shown a variety of sketches of colorful puppet characters and went over-the-top in his audition performance, trying to captivate the silly nature of the television show. His zaniness ended up landing him the role.
Yea didn't he take a bath in a casket or some shit?
