Michael Pataki-appeared in "The Trouble of Tribbles" episode of the original Star Trek, "Too Short A Season" of Star Trek-The Next Generation and two episodes of All In The Family ("The Taxi Caper", "Archie's Chair") among many other shows. I love this guy's deep voice!

Michael Pataki was great, too, as cop Barbera in the Spider-Man TV
pilot back in the late seventies.

The late Charles Lane. He appeared in hundreds of roles. He appeared twice on I Love Lucy, as a passport officer and as Lucy's business manager.

Don't forget the talent show auditioner--remember the knife thrower and Lucy? :lol: (it's the episode where Lucy bets she can always tell the truth)

You should really watch Lost Mike...Terry O'Quinn is great in that show.

I liked:

Charles Lane whom appeared in I Love Lucy, Bewitched, and Petticoat Junction as Homer Bedloe.

Dick Wilson aka Mr. Whipple of the Charmin commercials, played in a few episodes of Bewitched as a drunk and later on Tabitha.

Bernie Koppel he played Ann Marie's neighbor on That Girl, episodes of Bewitched, and Siegfried on Get Smart. He got his biggest break as Doc on The Love Boat.

Don't forget he also played the expectant father that was in the waiting room with Ricky when little Ricky was born.

My favorite is William Schallert most famous for being Patty Duke's Father on The Patty Duke Show. 85 and still working! I think he going to be the next Charles Lane.
