US actor and writer David Ketchum, best known for Get Smart, has died, aged 97.<\/p>\n
He died on August 10 in a care facility in California, his daughter Nicole Madden confirmed.<\/p>\n
He joined Get Smart for its second season in 1966 playing Agent 13, who would pop up in mailboxes, grandfather clocks, fire hydrants, planters, while on uncomfortable undercover assignments.<\/p>\n
He was once put inside a sofa.<\/p>\n
\u201cStuff like that was tricky. And then they put me in a locker at the airport, and then an ice machine, and it kept getting more and more ridiculous.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe hardest part for me was when they put Agent 13 in a washing machine. I\u2019m 6-foot-2, so I can\u2019t fit easily into cramped places, and a washing machine is about as cramped as it gets. They also built an eight-foot tube I got into so I could be spun around in the front. You try remembering your lines while you\u2019re spinning around with water and soap squirting in your face!\u201d<\/p>\n
