Hamburglar is a pint-sized burglar who was introduced in 1971 as one of the first antagonists of the commercials where often attempts to steal burgers from Ronald. Originally, Hamburglar spoke in a gibberish language which had to be translated by Captain Crook. He was reintroduced in 1985 as one of the main protagonists where he spoke in a normal sentence. From 1971 to 1992, Hamburglar was performed by Frank Delfino, Jerry Maren in some commercials and Tommy Vicini from 1992 to 2003 while the character was voiced by Larry Storch from 1971 to 1986, Howard Morris from 1986 to 2003, and sometimes Charlie Adler in commercials during the mid 1980s and in The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald. In 2015, McDonald's brought back the Hamburglar as part of the promotion of a new sirloin burger.
