Calvert DeForest (born July 23, 1921 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American actor and comedian.
A veteran stage actor, DeForest is best known for his work as "Larry 'Bud' Melman" on Late Night with David Letterman. He appeared under his own name, but as essentially the same character, when Letterman moved from NBC to CBS in 1993 to do The Late Show with David Letterman. This change was made because the character of "Larry 'Bud' Melman" was considered the intellectual property of NBC. He continued to appear on Letterman's show until the early 2000s, when he decided to retire from acting.
