Sid Melton (May 22, 1917 – November 2, 2011) was an American actor, best known for his roles as incompetent carpenter Alf Monroe in the CBS sitcom Green Acres and as Uncle Charlie Halper, proprietor of the Copa Club, in Make Room for Daddy and its spin-offs. He appeared in about 140 film and television projects in a career that spanned nearly 60 years. Among his most famous films were Lost Continent with Cesar Romero, The Steel Helmet with Gene Evans and Robert Hutton, The Lemon Drop Kid with Bob Hope, and Lady Sings The Blues with Diana Ross and Billy Dee Williams. He was a regular on The Danny Thomas Show and Green Acres, and appeared in flashback on several episodes of The Golden Girls as Salvadore Petrillo, the long-dead husband of Sophia and father of Dorothy.
Born in Brooklyn, New York as Sidney Meltzer, he was the son of Isidor Meltzer, a Yiddish theater comedian, and the brother of screenwriter Lewis Meltzer. He made his stage debut in a 1939 touring production of See My Lawyer and in 1941 was cast as Fingers in Shadow of the Thin Man. During World War II Melton entertained American soldiers overseas and met screenwriter Aubrey Wisberg, who arranged for him to have a part in his The Treasure of Monte Cristo for Robert Lippert. This was his first film after signing his first Hollywood contract with Lippert Pictures in 1949. The studio churned out low-budget films, most of them made in less than a week, and he was the comic relief in dozens of them, including Monte Cristo, Mask of the Dragon and Lost Continent.

Keywords: varietyyou know it's funny but at this point in my life i'd be happy enough with just the stumble rather than the fall. i've fell far too often over the years, that sort of impact seems to lead to heartache a hell of alot faster :/ rip sid melton 1917-2011
I once tried to meet Sid Melton at an autograph show. I was going to have him sign a hammer, because he was most famous for playing the role of an incompetent carpenter, on the famous sitcom "Green Acres". Sid had to leave early, and I wasn't able to get the hammer signed.
