THIS IS THE ONLY AUTOGRAPH OF JAY NOVELLO AVAILABLE ON EBAY AND THE ONLY SIGNED PHOTO I’VE EVER SEEN (1904-1982) Jay Novello was an American radio, film, and television character actor. Novello began his 47-year acting career in the 1930s, performing as a character on radio. He played Jack Packard on the Hollywood version of I Love a Mystery. He portrayed Cairo police Captain Sam Sabaaya on Rocky Jordan, Jamison the butler on the radio version of Lone Wolf, and Judge Glenn Hunter on One Man's Family. He also had roles on Escape, Crime Classics, Lux Radio Theater, Suspense, and Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. He also played a recurring role as Mr. Negley, the mailman on the radio show My Favorite Husband. During his film career, Novello's roles often alternated between pompous or fussy professionals and assorted ethnic characters, such as Italians, Spaniards, or Mexicans. One of his earliest and more familiar film appearances is in the 1945 Laurel and Hardy comedy The Bullfighters, in which Novello plays a Latin restaurateur. But in my opinion his best performances were in his many tv guest starring roles on shows such as The Burns and Allen Show, I Love Lucy, The Danny Thomas Show, Zorro, The Real McCoys, Maverick, The Donna Reed Show, Perry Mason, The Lucy Show, The Andy Griffith Show, McHale’s Navy, My Three Sons, F Troop, Family Affair, Gomer Pyle USMC, Bonanza, Lassie, The Brady Bunch, and many more. Novello was limited mostly to bits in minor films, one of his notable being the officious Spanish consul in Frank Capra's Pocketful of Miracles (1961). Among his other movie credits are roles in such films as Beneath the 12-Mile Reef (1953), The Mad Magician (1954), Lisbon (1956), The Pride and the Passion (1957), This Rebel Breed (1960), The Lost World (1960), Escape from Zahrain (1962), The Man from the Diner's Club (1963), Sylvia (1965), Harum Scarum (1965), What Did You Do in the War, Daddy? (1966), The Caper of the Golden Bulls (1967), The Comic (1969) and The Domino Principle (1977).
