Joe Flaherty on AllMovie

An alumnus of the famous Second City improvisational troupe that produced some of the best comics of the '70s and '80s, Joe Flaherty is best remembered for playing Guy Caballero, the Argentine owner of the fictional Channel 109, the home of Second City TV (1977-1981), a hilarious Toronto-based parody of all things television. Flaherty made his feature-film debut in Alex and the Gypsy (1976). He has subsequently gone on to play small character roles in numerous films of widely varying quality. Flaherty also occasionally appeared as a television guest star in shows such as Ellen (1994-1998).
