    @amybrickwallace @jam6242 Here's Patrick Horgan as Captain Harry. I don't have a last name though. I only watched this episode so far.

Edited March 10, 2019 by slick jones

[Khan]

Wow, for someone who reportedly hated working on soap operas, Bruce Gray sure did appear on a lot of 'em.

[jam6242]

@slick jones A magazine article I have said that Patrick Horgan appeared on the radio version of The Road of Life in its last year (which I think was 1959).  It didn’t give his character’s name.

[SoapDope]

I didn't know that Joseph Mascolo appeared on Days in 1968 before his run starting in 1982. 

I remember Jeanne Cooper said that Kin Shriner appeared on Y&R in the 70's prior to his GH role. She said he played a delivery guy who brought groceries etc... to the Chancellor home. He has always been close to the Y&R cast and you can see him at cast parties going back to the 70's.

I thought so, I've been searching through my Y&R notes, I couldn't remember if he was a delivery person, bartender, or waiter. Thanks, I'll add it in!

I'm going to see if I have a character name and then I'll add him in.   I know you are a fan of his!
