Art Metrano was an American actor and comedian.

He was noted for his role as Lt./Capt./Cmdt. Mauser in Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment and Police Academy 3: Back in Training.

Among Metrano's TV appearances were a 1968 episode of Ironside, a 1968 episode of Bewitched, a 1976 episode of The Practice, and The Streets of San Francisco.

In 1977, he was a regular in the cast of the short-lived CBS situation comedy Loves Me, Loves Me Not.

He also frequently appeared on talk and variety shows in the early 1970s, especially The Tonight Show, as a "magician" performing absurd tricks, such as making his fingers "jump" from one hand to another, while constantly humming an inane theme song – "Fine and Dandy," an early 1930s composition by Kay Swift.

Metrano died September 8, 2021 in Aventura, Florida. He was 84.
