Repeat Actors

I'd suspected the judge was in more than one, and, you're right, he was on three times as a judge and once as a doctor.

I'm gonna have to listen for his name when I see these eps to determine if he's playing the same judge every time!

In addition to Richard Stahl and Pamelyn Ferdin (who also played the voice of
Lucy in a few of the "Peanuts" specials), my favorites were James Millhollin
(3 episodes) and Louis Guss (6 episodes). Millhollin was the funeral director
handling the funeral of Felix's parrot who got all excited when he heard the
Pigeon sisters were attending the service (and was crushed when Oscar told
him "They're people! They're people!") He later had one of the funniest lines
of the show, when he had to perform the service for Sol, "beloved fly of Oscar
Madison," while unable to hide his disgust. Louis Guss, who later played Cher's
uncle in Moonstruck, once played a burglar who broke into Oscar's
bedroom; his one line-- "What disarray!"--was perfect.





I'm not crying, you fool, I'm laughing!

Hewwo.

Two more: Councilman Simpson was the Judge on several episodes and The Subway episode also featured the guy who Felix thought was stealing a TV.

Victor Buono was their landlord and was also the "doctor" who tried to remove the ghost from their air conditioner. The scene where he says "I know....I know ALL things", followed by Felix's "when can you do it", "I don't know....I'll have to check my book" still cracks me up.

I refer to guest actors who appear on a TV show two or more times as totally different characters as "two timers". Regular cast members appearing as an identical cousin, identical stranger or their grandparent like on "The Brady Bunch" does not count. I am aware of the other meanings of "two time". It means to be unfaithful to a lover or spouse. It also means to double cross. I think I like the term because the rock band KISS recorded a song "Two Timer" for their "Dressed To Kill" album written and sung by Gene Simmons. In the movie "Platoon" there is a scene when Francis says to Chris "we two timers". I don't want to say more about that scene in case someone hasn't seen that movie.

I heard that years ago a lot of TV shows frequently recycled guest actors. The late Allan Melvin made eight guest appearances on "The Andy Griffith Show" in eight different roles. I thought that had to be some kind of record. Then I found out that Morgan Woodward appeared on "Gunsmoke" nineteen times in seventeen different roles. Two of the episodes were two parters.

The guy who played Roger K. Doctor (who was going to marry Blanche) later showed up as a rider selling expensive sandwiches in the subway episode. He also appeared in the episode when Felix and Oscar were civilian cops patrolling their floor in their building-Felix demanded the serial number of the TV he was carrying.

And Garry Marshall was also in the subway ep as a surly passenger as well as Myrna's brother Werner Turner in another ep. I think he may also have been in the ep as an audience member where Felix finds out his girlfriend is a nude actress.

That subway ep also had a 3rd repeat guest-another passenger who didn't say anything here or in an ep where he was eating in a restaurant where Felix chided Oscar for eating too much spicy Mexican food despite having ulcer trouble.
