Another "we know the face but not the name" person, Michael Vale, known as "Fred the Baker" who always said, "Time to make the donuts" in the Dunkin' Donuts commercal, passed away.

Same here.  Though "Time to make the donuts" was at its popular zenith in my adolescence.  I thought Michael Vale died several years ago.  Apparently, he was a super nice guy and he never got sick of people coming to him and saying, "Time to make the donuts." 

Dunkin' Donuts needs to take a cue from their former pitchman.  Whenever I go into a DD around here, the selection is pretty lame, although that's probably better for my gut!

Was he the same guy who played the crossdresser in the old 70's Woody Allen film, "Everything You Wanted To Know About Sex *(But Were Afraid To Ask)?"
