We're trying to identify the guy in the red shorts in the All in the Family closing credits.

I always wondered why that guy is running away from the camera in the closing credits (https://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?t=279929)

The guy sitting next to Larry inside the bumper cars in the 1979-1980 Three's Company opening credits was identified by Richard Kline as a crew member/intern.

Are there any other famous extras in opening/closing credits? Are there any you've always wanted to identify?

Don’t think the Three’s Company bumper car guy fits as an “unwitting extra”. That one feels obviously planned and staged.

That's true. I thought it was interesting nonetheless. Some people thought it was John Ritter wearing a wig and mustache. I think it was Richard Kline himself who answered in the thread. I doubt anyone else would have known who it was.

There are a bunch of various people you can see in the Kotter opening and closing credits. I’ll single out Ty Cobbs Cheerleaders and the guy on the bike.
