Currently, Conway voices the character "Barnacle Boy" in the popular Nickelodeon cartoon series SpongeBob SquarePants. He died of leukemia in 1977. Conway's more recent work includes a series of satirical how-to videos in which he plays a diminuitive Scandinavian known as "Dorf." Conway continues to appear in movies and has cameo appearances in TV series; most of these appearances showcase his comedic talent. He also appeared in the Over-the-Hill Gang and as "Coyote Bill" in Myra Breckenridge. Conway's work on the show earned him three Emmy Awards. He starred in a Twilight Zone episode as "Frisby", a talkative braggart faced with an alien invasion called "Hocus-Pocus and Frisby". He is probably best known, however, for his work on The Carol Burnett Show where his antics sometimes caused his fellow players to fall out of character by bursting out in laughter. He also had a part as "Hap" on Flipper and hosted a children's TV show, Andy's Gang, and performed voice parts in animated films, including "Friar Tuck" in Disney's Robin Hood.

The most popular of these is probably The Apple Dumpling Gang series of movies. Devine is well-remembered for his role as "Jingles" in the US radio and TV series Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok (1951). Of these films for Disney, he was often paired with fellow funnyman, Don Knotts. He played "The Cheerful Soldier" in The Red Badge of Courage. Afterwards, he starred in a string of doomed series before appearing in several slapstick family films. His notable roles included ten films as sidekick, "Cookie", to Roy Rogers, a Shakespeare performance in Romeo and Juliet in 1937, Stagecoach with John Wayne in 1939 and a reunion with Wayne in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance in 1959. He gained a following from his appearance in the 1960s sitcom McHale's Navy. He had been running with a stake in his mouth and fell, the instrument piercing the roof of his mouth.

After graduating, he joined the Army, following which he took a job answering mail for a Cleveland radio station, where he went on to become a writer for the promotional department. Devine's speech was the result of a childhood accident. He attended Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio, where he majored in speech and radio. Although it was at first thought that his peculiar voice would prevent him from moving to the talkies, it became his trademark and strongest selling point. Conway was born in Willoughby, Ohio, and grew up in Chagrin Falls. He was a star football player at Santa Clara University, which led to his first film role in the silent The Collegians. Conway was born Thomas Daniel Conway, but changed his first name to "Tim" to avoid confusion with actor Tom Conway. He grew up in Kingman, Arizona, where his family moved when he was a year old. He appeared in more than 400 films and shared with Walter Brennan the rare ability to move with ease from B Westerns to A pictures.
