The actor-comedian pays tribute to the NATPE founder, who helped launch his career (and Dick Clark's), following his death June 12 at age 91.
I enrolled in Lew Klein’s class at Temple University and the description said something like, “Would you like a career in show business?” Everybody on Earth checked yes — except for really smart people.
When I was 17 years old, I had been a stand-up and won a radio contest. I was teed up for something, which could’ve just been a career doing amateur nights. But then Lew thought I was a special kid, like he did with so many people. He also saw my student film [the Student Academy Award-winning] and believed in me. He made a lot of magical things happen for a lot of people.
Lew was a completely positive person. His attitude was, “I’m going to start you here and you’re going to have a great career and you can do this.” He was a perfect example of a great teacher and mentor. He saw the fruits of his labor in people like Dick Clark, who went on to become TV history. Lew started his career like a lot of other people who haven’t been mentioned, people like producers and executives, filmmakers and documentarians, all people who live on through his legacy.
