Who has the only speaking part in Mel Brooks' "Silent Movie"?

The only person with a spoken line in Mel Brooks' 1976 film Silent Movie is the legendary mime artist Marcel Marceau, who utters a single word, "Non" (No).

While the term originated from newspaper rivalry, it stuck due to both the literal winds off Lake Michigan and the city's boastful reputation.
