Noted comedian Red Coffey, a prominent figure in the nightclub circuit during the 1950s, frequently shared the stage with renowned singer Jerry Wallace, delighting audiences with his unique brand of humor.

However, it's his iconic role as Little Quacker in the beloved "Tom and Jerry" animated shorts that has cemented his place in the annals of entertainment history.

In addition to his work in animation, Coffey also made a name for himself in the world of live performance, often appearing alongside his wife, who performed under the pseudonym Karen DeLuce, in revues that spanned from the early 1960s to the 1970s.
