Paul "Mousie" Garner (July 31, 1909 - August 8, 2004) earned his nickname by acting like a simpering jokester with a penchant for shyness. Garner was one of the last actors still doing schtick from vaudeville, and has been referred to as "The Grand Old Man Of Vaudeville".
Garner was one of over 20 comedians who worked as part of Ted Healy's stooge act with his cousin, Jack Wolf and Richard Hakins between 1922 and 1936. Although he was never a member of the act at the same time as Larry Fine, Moe Howard, Curly Howard or Shemp Howard, he did cross paths with the Three Stooges on several occasions and would later join the New Three Stooges in the 1970s (with Curly Joe DeRita). He also worked with Spike Jones and His City Slickers. In the early 1960s, he was a character actor on 77 Sunset Strip, Surfside Six and The Monkees.
Paul Garner (born 1 December 1955 in Edlington, South Yorkshire) is a former professional footballer who played as a defender for Huddersfield Town, Sheffield United, Gillingham and Mansfield Town.
