If you find that to be different please update this thread with the actors name. thanks!

I just watched "The Curse of the Snitkins" on youtube and going by his face and voice, I'd say he looks and sounds a lot like an actor named Alan Manson who many years later played Sid Daley in the Columbo episode "Fade To Murder," after checking his imdb page it also shows him doing another "Car 54" episode called "Here We Go Again."

Katherine Helmond from Soap and Who's The Boss played a shy girl in one episode.

I think the actor who played Bubba on Sanford and Sons was one of the policemen on a semi-regular basis. So was Bruce Kirby.

Years late reply for sure but I believe you (caladon) were correct in stating the actor was Alan Manson, and IMDB Eps guide. and actor profile have been updated to show credit. Apparently he did do 3 "Car 54" eps. "Stop Thief", "Here We Go Again" and "The Curse of the Snitkins"

Arlene Golonka, who played Millie in those two Mayberry series, was also in a Car 54 episode that I caught recently.

Wow, she was in the a show that early on???. I read she and Valerie Harper were buddies starting out .

And Arlene looked not too different than she did when she made her first Mayberry appearances -- if I remember correctly, with a bit longer and somewhat curly hairstyle. You will recognize her, especially her voice. Her role in the ep was pretty substantial.

David Doyle appeared a few times, including at least once uncredited as an ad agency exec who was trying to get Sylvia Schnauzer to appear as the "Dixie Dimple" cookie lady.
