Tiny Brauer

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Brauer appeared in over 20 films between 1946 and 1966.

Brauer is best known for his role as the "heavy" in several Three Stooges short subjects, particularly in Three Loan Wolves, Fright Night, and Sing a Song of Six Pants.

Though he made less than a dozen appearances with the slapstick comedy trio, he was one of only two supporting actors who appears on film with all four configurations of the Stooges (i.e. third Stooge played by Curly Howard, Shemp Howard, Joe Besser, and Curly Joe DeRita).

Emil Sitka was the other supporting actor to achieve this goal.

Brauer was the guest of honor at the April 1989 Three Stooges convention held in Trevose, Pennsylvania.

Brauer poses as a mannequin like a statue in Sing a Song of Six Pants . However, current Stooge Larry Fine notices there is something a little too human about the "dummy."
