Barney Miller! Hal Linden. Inspector Luger. OK show, but what a
fantastic theme! Possibly the best TV theme music in history (except
maybe for Sanford and Son).

Anyway, the "guy by the door" was played by Kendall McCarthy. His IMDB
resume:

Actor filmography
(1990s) (1980s)

1.After the Shock (1990) (TV) .... Fireman
2.Heart Condition (1990) .... Archimedes
3.All Night Long (1981) .... Fireman

Notable TV guest appearances
1."Men Behaving Badly" (1996) playing "Fireman" in episode:
"Sarah's Vestigial Organ" 11/20/1996
2."Seinfeld" (1990) playing "Man" in episode: "Chinese Restaurant,
The" (episode # 2.11) 5/23/1991

Interesting. The guy's only had 5 screen appearances, and 3 of them
were as a fireman.
