Harry Stewart (nee Skarbo) was a songwriter who gained most of his fame in the character of Yogi Yorgesson. That's right... he "played ethnic". Some of his other characters have aged poorly, such as the Japanese Harry Kari, however given that Stewart was a Norwegian lampooning Swedes, I can't quite get myself too worked up over that. (My prejudices are showing, I guess.)
