I was surprised to see him on the show. But it was him, Harry Mudd, aka Roger Carmel, in an episode of Three's Company. I saw the episode "Ralph's Rival" the other night on Pluto TV's Three's Company channel.

Carmel played the so-called "rival", Furley's old friend who showed up at Furley's apartment and bragged about what a filthy rich tycoon that he was. Trying to one up his rival, Furley lied that Chrissy was his (trophy) wife.

It being Three's Company, of course, hilarity ensued.
 
There's Sandra Smith on a Season 5 episode of Hawaii Five-O. Watch out when she says she wants your body, McGarrett!
 
Ken Lynch as unscrupulous businessman Denver Pyle's unscrupulous business partner, in the Have Gun - Will Travel episode "The Wager."

Ken Lynch as Anthony Caruso's unscrupulous partner in Gunsmoke S2, "Born to Hang," 1957.

Another S2 Gunsmoke, Barry Atwater in "How To Kill A Woman." His face really changed in the '60s.

The Have Gun... episode "The Long Hunt" featured Anthony Caruso as a Mexican tracker. They had a lot of Italian Mexicans and Indians back then!
