palito

palito -lrb- born reynaldo alfredo r. hipolito , september 4 , 1934 -- april 12 , 2010 -rrb- was a veteran filipino slapstick comedian and actor who was at the height of his career in the 1970s and 80s .
he was well known for his unusually light build and thin anatomy , earning him the self-deprecating screen name `` palito '' , which is spanish for `` stick '' and is glossed in filipino as `` matchstick '' or `` toothpick '' .
