I have been trying to find out for sure the name of an actor that appeared in two episodes of the television series Hawaii 5-O . *I’m * sure it was Hume Cronyn but a friend says he was too important then to be in a cop show. Can someone point me to a H5O site that lists acting credits? The character he played was a con artist that left Monopoly cards lying around.
The Internet Movie Database has Mr. Cronyn playing Lewis Every Filer in two episodes, “Over Fifty? Steal,” which is the episode you remember, and “Odd Man In.”

Your friend is wrong–it was Hume Cronyn as Lewis Avery Filer (aka “The Monopoly Thief”).

Thanks to the both of you! I knew about the IMDB but I was too stupid to realize it might also have television credits. NOw I can tell my friend “See? See?”
John Houseman did a couple episodes of “The Bionic Woman”
Actors, like most people, like to get paychecks. You have to be very wealthy to afford an ego that would keep you out of TV.
Ray Walston was on 5-0 a few times as a charasmatic theif.
