Hmmm - that’s the third time in the last week I’ve hit the _1_ key instead of the _A_. I often copy and paste the longer DQs, and since I was adding a word I had to change your “ **A** male lead” to “ **a** male lead.” So if it signifies anything, I suppose you could call it a mark of advancing senility. 😃 The _1_ and the _A_ aren’t even that close together, dammit… ---

I really did not expect to win this one. I am **W** illiam Daniels, known for playing George Feeny on _Boy Meets World_ and _Girl Meets World_, Dr Mark Craig on _St Elsewhere_, the voice of KITT on _Knight Rider_, and a certain obnoxious and disliked Boston lawyer in both stage and screen versions of _1776_. ---

Good choice. I’d never seen any of those shows, so I didn’t have a clue. Grats **SCAdian**. What’s the new letter? ---

I know him from _1776_ and from his appearance as a waiter in a single episode of _Soap_. He starred as the title character in _Captain Nice_, which I did watch, but I didn’t pay much attention to actors’ names and probably couldn’t have told you who he was even while the show was still on. Does anybody think it’s too soon to do another M? ---
