Veritably

The original Mr. Clean (right) died earlier this month of pneumonia at age 92.

House Peters Jr. also acted in episodes of Lassie and The Lone Ranger, but it was his face that developed into one of the most recognizable advertising characters: Mr. Clean.

According to his imdb.com biography, if he could have redone one thing in his life, House Peters Jr. had clearly responded: "Change my name!"

Mr. Clean also has a curious first name which he earned in a 1962 advertising promotion (though it's not widely used). Want to guess? It's the title of this blog post.
