Westgrand, Willis Bouchey rotated as one of the judges on the Perry Mason show, I think he was the judge when Bette Davis guest starred as the lawyer filling in for Raymond Burr.

[moe]

Doug Jones was great in The Shape Of Water, as the creature.

I didn't know that Moe, so have checked, and you are right. 'The Case Of Constant Doyle'. I must look out that episode, as I don't recall ever seeing it...

[westgrandboulevard]

Doug Jones was great in The Shape Of Water, as the creature.

I viewed that film on rental....mainly because it was doing so well, so just curious, as felt it was not really my thing. Much better than I had anticipated...which is always a bonus. Doug Jones has special talents, not found in many actors....

[moe]

Of all the actors portraying judges on Perry Mason only one [I believe] was a lawyer [for the exception of Erle Stanley Gardner, who was the second judge in "The Case of The Final Fade Out" uncredited]. Morris Ankrum had a law degree from USC & taught economics at UC Berkeley. He played a judge from 1957-1964 on the series.

It adds authenticity to the programmes [with or without making the public aware that real judges were appearing] but I've often wondered how appearances like those squared with actor's Equity union....

[moe]

He also starred in other things, Westgrand. There's a list.......
He might've been a lawyer turned actor.

[westgrandboulevard]

Sure Moe.....and I've certainly met quite a few professionals turned comedians in my time...
