Actors playing different roles in series..

[BobLWeiss]

I just started watching this series again and started from season 1. I noticed that they used the same actor/actresses for different roles throughout the 9 seasons...How many different people played multi-roles for All in the Family?

I noticed Barney was also the sargent (polish) in the first season and Boom-Boom was Duke's 2nd wife in the 2nd season. How many more can you name?

Before Vincent Gardenia played the semi-regular role of Frank Lorenzo, he was Bowman, the Bunkers' neighbor who sold his house to the Jeffersons, and also the husband of the couple whose ad Edith answered, who she thought was looking for just companionship, but turned out to be swingers, "wife-swappers."

I think he was a good actor, but the character Frank Lorenzo was too exuberant; acted like preparing a dish with a French or Italian sounding name was an orgasm to him.

Just today 10-27-05 I saw Roscoe Lee Browne. I think that's his name. He play the black man in the elevator where Archie gets stuck with a Hector Gonzalas and Eileen Brennan. Then he plays a hospital roommate separated by a curtain, who Archie thinks is a white frenchman.
