George A. "Little Oscar" Molchan was the face of Oscar Mayer when I was a kid. He was usually in the Wienermobile commercials.

He was born June 5th, 1922 in Lanfair, Pennsylvania. He attended Columbia College in Chicago and worked for Pepsi Cola Distribution in Gary, Indiana from 1940 to 1951.
In 1951 he joined Oscar Mayer & Company and eventually retired in 1987. He worked at Walt Disney World for ten years at the Town Square Cafe as "Little Oscar." He died on April 12th, 2005 at the age of 82.
