About the only ones missing are Joe Friday (Raymond Burr played Friday’s first boss Chief Of Detectives Ed Backstrand on the radio show), Dr. Richard Kimble, and Lieutenant Gerard
Dennis Patrick who played on "Dallas" and "Dark Shadows" was a guest, so was Jeannie Cooper Katherine on "The Young and the Restless" who guest starred several times. So did Constance Ford who Played Ada on "Another World. "
They should have listed the character actors that appeared the most times --Guys you wouldn't know their names, but you would know their faces and voices--actors like Percy Helton and Milton Selzer
Barbara Eden was a fantastic actress! Much better than those of us who only knew her from "I Dream of Jeanie" ever thought. See, for example, her episodes on Gene Barry's police procedurals (Burke's Law).
Thank you for the top ten guests on Perry Mason. It was like a who's who list. There were even some interesting guests who didn't make the top ten, like Margaret "Maggie" Hayes, Phyllis Hill, Gigi Perreau, Benson Fong, Lisa Gaye, Ruta Lee, Vaughn Taylor, Ivan Dixon, Jeanette Nolan, Peggy McCay, Dabs Greer, Billy Mumy, Constance Ford, Constance Towers, James Drury, Bobby Troup, Faith Domergue, Jesse White, Andra Martin, Ann Rutherford, Frankie Laine, and Allison Hayes, among others. Granted, this is a long list of Mason guests, and it could go on forever.
The Perry Mason books were big sellers in the 50s before the TV show. The show ran 9 years and had multiple guest stars every week. If you were a character actor or up and comer in the late 50s / early 60s, you really wanted a Perry Mason appearance. who's who list is a good description
Don't forget Barbara Hales husband, cowboy star Bill Williams and silent and talkie star Zazu Pitts a long time actress and stunningly beautiful in her younger days.
My All Time Favorite Guest On Perry Mason Is, Without A Doubt, Is None Other Than Bette Davis. She Portrayed Constant Doyle, In The Episode Where She Was An Attorney Filling In For Perry Mason. The Name Of The Episode Is ' The Case Of Constant Doyle.'. Y'all Should Check It Out. It's One Of The Best Episodes Of Perry Mason.
The fella from The Green Mile who played the old version of the Tom Hanks character. Dabbs Greer. Perry did to him like he does to all who play fast and loose with truth and justice in the witness box. He dispensed a one way ticket down to China Town !
Anyone just seeing this now. MeTV just finished the last episode of the 9 year run. Starting Monday 9/28/2020 they will restart the series with episode #1 at 11:30 pm.
Yes, he played Jackson Skidmarks, who was the second guy killed by Dick Clark's character, Leif Early, on the last episode of Perry Mason, "The Case of the Final Fadeout."
@@WSenator1 Right! Oh, and uh, I have to apologize for the mistake I made a year ago when I said that Denver Pyle played Jackson Skidmarks on that episode. I found out that it was actually Jackson SIDEMarks, not Skidmarks. I thought it was Skidmarks and for that, I apologize.
Wow. Festus, Batman, Mrs. Cunningham, Spock, Colonel Klink, Jeannie, the Skipper etc. all passed through this show.

GUN SMOKE AND PERRY MASON shared many actors on both shows. Amusing to see these actors jump from one century to another.

I figured Bette Davis would be #1. She was a very big star at that time and her legacy is as strong today as it was then.
The Bette Davis episode was on FETV last night. In that same episode was Neil Hamilton - Commissioner Gordon from Batman.

You forgot Ryan O'Neal. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

I always enjoy seeing Dabbs Greer and Jonathan Hole when they are in an episode.
Dabbs Greer played reverend Alden on Little House on the prairie. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
I always felt bad for Dabbs, because (for all the PMs I can remember), he was the villain in all of them

My favorite was Dick Clark in the last episode THE CASE OF THE FINAL FADEOUT
Walter Pigeon should be at least an honorable mention. I think he filled in for Raymond Burr and did a great job.
Perry brought the best of them out !
Denver Pyle who played uncle jessie on the dukes appered in a episode
Yes, he played Jackson Skidmarks, who was the second guy killed by Dick Clark's character, Leif Early, on the last episode of Perry Mason, "The Case of the Final Fadeout."
He was in about 3 or 4
@@jeprice08 "Final Fadeout" was the last episode of the series, right?
@@WSenator1 Right! Oh, and uh, I have to apologize for the mistake I made a year ago when I said that Denver Pyle played Jackson Skidmarks on that episode. I found out that it was actually Jackson SIDEMarks, not Skidmarks. I thought it was Skidmarks and for that, I apologize.
@@jeprice08 No apology necessary. I bet his Uncle Jesse character did have skidmarks.
Excellent, thank you. They personified acting stage presence. Talented sensitives.
You missed a young, brunette Angie Dickinson.
James Coburn?
Lee Van Cleef
He was also on a "Twilight Zone " episode .
Wow! That's quite a list of guest stars...
That's the hall of fame right there!
I noticed they show cased Lenard Nemoy, Deforest Kelly and George Tiki. I want to say that William Shatner did an episode as well.
You have to wonder if they ever discussed their appearances on Perry Mason when they worked together years later on Star Trek.
@@emichaelny336 I think they also starred on the Twilight Zone as well as many early westerns on tv.
@@katherinkeegan8601 Shatner never did Perry Mason
@@cdgates1 You are correct.
You forgot Angie Dickinson
LOVE THE STARS OF TV AND I LOVE ALL PERRY MASON'S SHOWS...GREAT TO WATCH
Great show
Perry represented or put away a veritable who's who of Hollywood.
All right, I did it! And I'm glad I did! lol
buddy ebsen.
Boy that show had just about everyone who was good
Lee Van Cleef
John Dall
Angie Dickinson
I knew Bette Davis would be #1.
How about Ellen Burstyn?
and Angie Dickinson, and Faye Wray
And John Dall
Betty Davis eyes like my mom an Grandma
Angie Dickinson... in TCOT One-Eyed Witness...
Holy Hell Was Cloris Leachman SMOKING back Then. I only Know Her As An Older Woman.
She was runner up for Miss America at one point.
No one has always been old....
What about Barbara Lawrence? Statuesque and beautiful, the perfect 1950s babe.
Leachman, Really? She should have been a mention. Barbara Eden was much better know.
Cloris Leachman was an Oscar, Golden Globe, and Emmy winner.
What about my cousin Eileen ???? She was on that stupid show. The toilet scene. Season 3. 1963
