Playing beatnik Maynard G. Krebs on the comedy series The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis (1959), his most enduring line from that series was his freaked-out exclamation "Work!?" whenever anyone mentioned the word within hearing distance.

Enjoyed going sailing in real life. For obvious reasons, however, he dreaded it when he had to rent a boat. People would say variations of the famous line from his show: "Going out for a three-hour tour, are you?".
