David Leisure starred on Empty Nest as the annoying neighbor Charley Dietz.
He landed the job after gaining national exposure as the character Joe Isuzu in a long series of wacky commercials for the Isuzu automobile company in the mid-80s.

I mean, “Leisure” … and “Mulligan.” Come on people, these jokes write themselves. (What? I don’t get it. There was no joke.)
