... as Tristan Adams
James Gregory (23 December 1911 – 16 September 2002; age 90) was born in The Bronx, New York. By 1935, he had turned an acting hobby into a career, and with 1939's Key Largo, he moved to Broadway, where he acted in numerous productions for the next sixteen years. Around 1955, he moved from stage to television and film, ultimately appearing in four regular television series roles, about fifty movies (including a role as General Ursus in Beneath the Planet of the Apes and Call to Danger in 1968, with William Smithers and Laurel Goodwin), and well over a hundred television guest appearances, including his 1966 role as Tristan Adams in TOS: "Dagger of the Mind". One of his television series roles, irascible Inspector Luger on the ABC TV comedy Barney Miller, became a defining role. He retired from acting around 1987 and died of natural causes in Sedona, Arizona, a few months shy of his ninety-first birthday. His widow, Anne, died 29 December 2005.
