Rest In Peace Inspector Luger

oops, and somebody already posted it, and i didnt even notice. <G>

If ever anyone was perfect for a role, he was. From what I've read, James Gregory was nothing like Luger in real life (thank goodness! :lol:). He was also awesome as Ursus in Planet of the Apes.

I first saw James Gregory when he starred in the short-lived dramatic series
The Lawless Years, which was on the air at the same time as Robert
Stack's similar show The Untouchables was popular. He also gave a
memorable performance as an old friend of Uncle Charley on an episode of
My Three Sons. And it goes without saying that he was perfectly cast
as Inspector Luger on Barney Miller. A terrific actor.

^ Wow, I never knew he appeared on My Three Sons. Cool!!!! :cool:

It's a 1969 episode titled "So Long, Charley!" It's the only one that I have (on
VHS), and it's a pretty good show. James Gregory plays Uncle Charley's old
Navy buddy who tries to persuade him to sail away with him to the South Seas, but Charley is reluctant to leave his family.
