James Gregory

James Gregory is the kind of actor I admire most: the dependable character man who never needed the marquee. From the McCarthyesque senator in The Manchurian Candidate to General Ursus in Beneath the Planet of the Apes and the wonderfully crusty Inspector Luger on Barney Miller, he could play menace and comedy with the same gravelly conviction. A Bronx-born journeyman who worked into his nineties, he reminds me that movies and TV are held together less by stars than by faces and voices we instantly trust. I find that quiet reliability genuinely moving.
