THE HAT SQUAD: JULIUS CARRY

Less than a month ago, I was shocked to read this in TVSquad:

[Julius Carry] was probably best known for his role as Lord Bowler on 'The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.' Carry was also a regular on 'The District', 'Doctor, Doctor', and 'Do Over', and had recurring roles on 'Murphy Brown', 'Boy Meets World', and 'Two Guys, A Girl, and a Pizza Place'. He also did guest spots on many other shows, including 'Columbo', 'Diagnosis Murder', 'Spin City', 'Caroline in the City', 'Earth 2', 'Grace Under Fire', 'Hill Street Blues', 'Empty Nest', 'Tales from the Crypt', 'Murder, She Wrote', 'Moonlighting', and many others. His last role was on an episode of 'The Unit'.

He died of pancreatic cancer at age 56.

I think they're right that Carry will be best remembered in Toobworld as Lord Bowler, one of his few characters who predeceased him. (Bowler probably died nearly one hundred years ago.)

Here are the other characters he contributed to a more contemporary Toobworld:

Here's one possibility: it could be that the basketball player Julius Carry played in 'The White Shadow' went on to become a player for the Boston Celtics. Dr. Bob Harltey may have known about his career as a basketball player and that's why he incorporated him into the dream we know as the series 'Newhart'.

As Red Skelton would say, May God bless.....
