Silvers, Phil[ip] [né Philip Silver] (1911–85), comedian. The Brooklyn‐born comic, who specialized in smart‐alecky bunglers, began performing as a child and had appeared in vaudeville and burlesque before making his Broadway debut as Punko Parks in
Yokel Boy (1939). By the time he returned to the theatre as the con man Harrison Floy in
High Button Shoes (1947), he had won recognition in films. He later starred as TV clown Jerry Biffle in
Top Banana (1951), schemer Hubie Cram in
Do Re Mi (1960), and as the wily slave Pseudolus in
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (1972). Silvers was most known for his years in television.
