Nicknamed "The King of Comedy," he was widely known for his "kid" and "idiot" persona of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. Lewis appeared in 60 films, and he was a director, producer and screenwriter.

One of his seven children is Gary Lewis, who was a popular singer, drummer, and guitarist in the 1960s with his band Gary Lewis & The Playboys.
