(b. 1933) Edd Byrnes is an American actor best known for his starring role in the television series 77 Sunset Strip. He also was featured in the film Grease (1978) as television teen-dance show host, Vince Fontaine but his enduring and most famous role was as Gerald Lloyd "Kookie" Kookson III, on the ABC/Warner Brothers detective series 77 Sunset Strip (1958–1964), and as a single-charted recording artist with the song "Kookie, Kookie -- Lend Me Your Comb" (1958, with Connie Stevens). Although he appeared as a guest star in other WB series, including Lawman and Sugarfoot (both in 1958), Byrnes remained type cast as the “Kookie” character and had difficulty finding other roles to play.
