Wells had played other bit parts in films such as ''Private Benjamin'' and TV shows like ''Small Wonder''. He was known for his role as Charlie on ''The Jeffersons'', who owned a bar in the lobby of the Jeffersons' apartment building. A recurring gag is that George Jefferson would be drinking with someone, only to slip out, then having Wells hand the bill to the other person. Regarding Mario, Wells later remarked his surprise at the show's popularity; "We were in an afternoon timeslot, and going toe to toe with the Disney Channel". | |||
Twenty-four years after the conclusion of ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'', on November 28, 2013, Wells died in Toronto, Canada at age 72. | |||
