Through the series, he worked well as a process server, museum tour guide, cabbie, bodyguard, chauffeur, truck driver, social director for a Catskills holiday resort and a carny. He could also false enough bass to play at weddings and bar-mitzvahs.The show aired just like Sinatra was in the jogging for an Oscar for his role in ‘From Right here to Eternity’, it became a running gag that Rocky appeared to work the phrase “from here to eternity” into nearly every show.
