One of the hard-working, unappreciated African-American actors of Hollywood's "Golden Era" who produced good work with what he was given. He starred alongside some of film's great comedians including the Marx Brothers, Bob Hope, Laurel and Hardy and three films with Shirley Temple. In addition to being a talented comedian and character actor, Best was also a musician/song writer.

Dave O'Brien, mostly of B-westerns and Pete Smith Specials fame, tries to land a TV deal with this pilot called Meet the O'Briens, pretty much doing what he's been doing in those Pete Smith shorts. A typical family set-up with probable the biggest attraction being Jeff Donnell as his wife. Sadly for O'Brien his TV dream never came to anything, and his career would simply be a few more years of short films and a few one-off TV appearances before his career died out.
