- Actor

New York-born James Gregory gave up a career as a stockbroker for one
as an actor, and began on the Broadway stage. He made his film debut in
1948. Gregory specialized in playing loud, brash, tough cops or
businessmen. One of his better roles was as the detective out to get
Capone in Al Capone (1959). He also played Dean Martin's boss in three of the four
cheesy "Matt Helm" spy films. Memorable as the opinionated, loudmouthed
Inspector Luger in the television series Barney Miller (1975).
