... Interesting.

William Schallert appeared three times on Perry Mason. I knew of two of those times, but I just stumbled on the other one completely by accident. It's The Case of the Sulky Girl from season 1, and I recall watching it years ago, before I knew who William Schallert is. It's an epic episode all around, one of the best of season 1. William Schallert's character has some great interaction with Hamilton Burger, and we even get a rare glimpse of Mr. Burger's car. This time, he was driving it, too. The other time I saw it, in The Run-Away Corpse, his assistant was driving.
And recently I've become aware that I share an odd personality quirk with William Talman. We both have this tendency to tilt our heads to the side while watching someone or something/listening to them for long stretches of time. (And also often while writing.) I know I've done it for years, and I really don't think I picked it up from him years earlier (I think I was doing it before I ever saw Perry Mason), but it's interesting to note anyway. He usually tilts his head to the right, while I tilt mine to the left, although I occasionally have tilted to the right as well.
