(Not to be confused with the actor James Gregory(1911-2002),
who played the title character's immediate superior,Inspector
Luger,on the Barney Miller series).

Yeah, Louis, I was gonna make the same point about not confusing those two James Gregorys, the newly-dead comic and the long-dead character actor.

What I can't figure out, however, is why for decades, whenever thinking of (or seeing onscreen in some supporting role) the late actor James Gregory, I always ALSO think of the (still-living) character actor Paul Dooley. I mean, they don't look THAT much alike, yet I've NEVER been able to think of or see one without the other also coming to mind!

Any theories, Louis? (And I doubt it's a vocal thing, for they have pretty disimilar voices.)
