Caeser Romaro?
Yep Cesar Romero :aok, The Joker was in the Coast Guard during the war.

In 1942 Romero enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard. Romero had already served as a lieutenant in the California State Guards, as a member of the Evacuation Corps, and as an air warden. During his three-year stint with the Coast Guard, Romero rose to the highest of noncommissioned ranks, chief boatswain's mate.

Yep  :aok
When Yogi turned 18 he joined the Navy. World War II was in full swing and Yogi played his part. He participated in the D-Day invasion at Omaha Beach as a gunner's mate, served in North Africa and Italy, and then was finally stationed back in the States.

True. Same goes for the way he often fractured the English language. Classic Yogi. :)

Herman Munster? Fred Gwynn?
Yep :aok  Fred Gwynne

During World War II, he joined the US Navy, and served as a radioman aboard a subchaser.

Leaving the Navy at the end of the war, he went to Harvard University (Herman Munster went to Harvard!),where he majored in English. At Harvard he was a member of the Fly Club, sang with the a cappella group the Harvard Krokodiloes, was a cartoonist for the Harvard Lampoon (eventually becoming its president), and acted in the Hasty Pudding Theatricals shows.

Gwynne was 6 ft 5 in tall, an attribute that contributed to his being cast as Herman Munster. For his role he had to wear 40 or 50 lb of padding, makeup, and 4-inch elevator shoes. His face was painted a bright violet because it captured the most light on the black-and-white film. Gwynne was known for his sense of humor and retained fond recollections of Herman, claiming in later life, "... I might as well tell you the truth. I love old Herman Munster. Much as I try not to, I can't stop liking that fellow."

In addition to his acting career, Gwynne sang professionally, painted, and wrote and illustrated children's books, including A Chocolate Moose for Dinner, The King Who Rained, Best In Show, Pondlarker, and A Little Pigeon Toad.

Very Cool Guy :aok
