Robert Wegner
Taylor Agan is looking for appearances by his great uncle, Robert A. Wegner, in any Perry Mason episodes. He is not credited in the series, but family lore has it that he appeared various episodes.
Rich Erickson found our man appearing as the courtroom door bailiff in three episodes and reported it on 6/23/10. The episodes are #154, TCOT Bogus Books, #162, TCOT Weary Watchdog, and #187, TCOT Reluctant Model. Based on the pictures below, and additional corroborating information from his family, Taylor Agan has confirmed the identification.
I have only video tapes of these episodes so the quality of the video capture pictures is poor. This is aggravated by the lack of close-ups. The pictures from episode #187 were simply too small to be useful, but they clearly show the same man. The pictures below are the best of the several that I got from the other episodes. The cropped picture of Mr. Wegner has been flipped left-to-right to make comparison easier.
