The Perry Mason Connection
Here in Oregon, Perry Mason has been on nearly every weekday at noon for longer than I've been alive.  It's kind of a family tradition to watch every day in the summer and during vacations.  This summer, I've noticed a number of actors have been on both the Monkees and Perry Mason.
* means multiple Perry Mason appearances (that I've seen)
# means victim
• means murderer

Richard Devon (Victor the Knife thrower, Monkees at the Circus)
Patrice Wymore* (Madame Quagmire, Monkees A La Mode)
John Hoyt* (I think he's the Professer, I Was a Teenage Monster)
Jaques Aubuchon*, The Case of the Capricious Corpse, #The Case of the Garrulous Go-Between (Boris, The Spy Who Came In From the Cool)
Robert Strauss (The Police Chief, Alias Micky Dolenz) (He's been on Bewitched, too, as Charlie Leech, a man blackmailing Samantha and Darren.)
James Frawley, that one Perry Mason in Hawaii (Monkees director and sometimes actor)
The guy who plays the farmer in Gift Horse and the preacher in Hillbilly Honeymoon, I think... I'm not sure he was on Perry Mason.
