Spade_Cooley 9,638 Posted December 14, 2017 Arthur Treacher didn't answer the butler's bell today in 1975. The first man to play Jeeves on-screen, his performance irritated PG Wodehouse so much that he refused to allow any more adaptations of his work. He later became the go-to guy when Hollywood needed a butler/stuffy Englishman, and lent his name to America's largest fish-and-chips franchise chain.
