Trivia Lists
Everybody loves lists! So, here are few featuring the
actors from the Perry Mason series. If some of these
lists look familiar, it's because they were once on the Famous People page. Special thanks to Charles Richmond and D. A. Supernaw for the suggestions that led to this page. Extra thanks to Charles Richmond for checking all of the the Perry Mason actors at the Internet Movie Database.
See the Actors Lists for appearances in the series. Name links go to the actor's Internet Movie Database filmography. So, look 'em up and read all about 'em there.
