Darwin William Duell(born on August 30, 1923) is an American actor and singer. He is known for his roles as Jim Sefelt in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) and Johnny the Snitch on the 1982 crime comedy series Police Squad!. He also had a small part in the film Cradle Will Rock as a butler. He is described as a short, odd-looking character actor with a Shakespearean background. He had many minor roles in plays, films and TV series. His last work was a cameo in the film How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Duell graduated at the Green Mountain Junior College (now Green Mountain College) (Illinois) Wesleyan University, and Yale University. A theatre scholarship at GMC is named after him. He portrayed Caesar Rodney in the Broadway version of 1776, which made him the one actor who stayed throughout the entire run of the show and was never understudied.
