Dr. Craig on 'St Elsewhere' would have a tete a tete with Dr. Auschlander (Norman Lloyd) or Dr. Westphall (Ed Flanders).

I saw him live in 1776 and also in the movie. Remember his role in Two for the Road (1967)?
Ruth Manchester : [after Howard knocks the luggage off the top of the car by driving into a low beam carport] Daddy? Howard Manchester (William Daniels) : Yes, Ruthie? Ruth Manchester : Did you do that on purpose? Howard Manchester : No, Ruthie, I didn't. No, I did not. No, Ruthie. No.

I always enjoyed his appearance as Lt. Matteo in the Kolchak: The Night Stalker episode The Vampire.
