[1] LeGrand was backstage working the artificial snow when he made his stage debut to substitute for a missing actor.
[citation needed] He continued in theater, doing dramas, musical comedies, tent shows and vaudeville.
[2] LeGrand worked on radio as early as 1929, portraying Professor Knicklebine on School Days[3] and announcing for the Pacific Vagabonds program.
As a member of the men's social group "The Jolly Boys", he would try to get the fellows to start singing "There Is a Tavern in the Town", but was very rarely successful.
[6] He later was a regular on Fibber McGee and Molly as Ole, the Elk's Club janitor, beginning February 15, 1949 just as that show began its decline, and appeared as Phil Harris' father on the Phil Harris Alice Faye Show (using the Peavey voice) from March 1954 until the end of that series in May of that year.
