About Severn Darden
Severn Teakle Darden Jr. was an American comedian and actor, and a founding member of The Second City Chicago-based comedy troupe as well as its predecessor, the Compass Players. He is known from his film appearances for playing the human leader Kolp in the fourth and fifth Planet of the Apes films. His live comedy improv skit under the character of "Walther von der Vogelweide" was influential with two generations of comic performers. He has been called the "improviser's improvisor", and the original "kamikaze improviser" archetype, prefiguring Jim Belushi and Chris Farley.
