Rat added.

added alt.tv.navy-ncis 'cause there's a lot of JAG fans there.
Just to be specific about his most relevant (and IMO best) credits
above:
Mackay played Bud Roberts' father, Big Bud on JAG
And, of course, he played French on Baa Baa Black Sheep, as well as
Stephen Collins's sidekick Corky on Tales of the Gold Monkey.

LORELAI: I am so done with plans. I am never, ever making one again.
It never works. I spend the day obsessing over why it didn't work
and what I could've done differently. I'm analyzing all my shortcomings
when all I really need to be doing is vowing to never, ever make a plan
ever again, which I'm doing now, having once again been the innocent
victim of my own stupid plans. God, I need some coffee.

Austin CBS affiliate has been showing all of the 50s/60s/70s/80s cop
shows on its DTV 2 channel. I've been recording Perry Mason for
viewing.
