Alan Carney (Born David Boughal) (December 22,
1909 - May 2, 1973) was an American
actor and comedian.

as a comic dialectican. After making his first
film, 1941's Convoy, Carney signed a contract at

Mr. Lucky.

In 1943, Carney teamed up with Wally Brown as
RKO's answer to Abbott and Costello. In addition
to their inexpensive starring vehicles, Brown and
Carney co-starred in Step Lively, a musical remake
of the Marx Brothers film Room Service (1938
movie)|Room Service. Wally played Chico's part,
while Alan Carney filled in for Harpo; the
"Groucho" role was essayed by Adolphe Menjou. The
comedy team was also featured on a live USO tour
arranged by the studio. 

After 1946's Genius at Work, RKO terminated the
team's contracts. Alan Carney continued in films
and TV as a supporting player, working
prolifically as Disney Studios in the 1960's and
1970's. One of Carney's best latter-day roles was
as Mayor Dawgmeat in the 1959 musical film Li'l
Abner.
