TV Trivia Lists

Here are few lists of actors from the Perry Mason series who appeared in non-guest roles in popular TV series or had long running roles in famous Soap Operas. If these lists look familiar, it's because they were once on the Famous People or the Trivia Lists pages. Special thanks to Charles Richmond and D. A. Supernaw for the suggestions that led to this page. Extra thanks to Charles Richmond for checking all of the the Perry Mason actors at the Internet Movie Database.

See the Actors Lists for appearances in the series. Name links go to the actor's Internet Movie Database filmography. So, look 'em up and read all about 'em.
