An informal Perry Mason list that I'm on is involved in a little exercise pertaining to the imdb record for Robert Arthur "Bob" Wegner, who appeared as an uncredited extra in about 75 episodes. Or so we think. This would give him the most appearances of someone who never received a credit.

Recently imdb "updated" his record and reduced his number of episodes to two. This is clearly incorrect, and our group is trying to get it fixed.

What may be of interest here is where he lived:

"His mother was Irene Taylor, a concert pianist, and his father was Leonard Wegner, a musical conductor and evangelist. ... Robert's stepfather, Max Rapp (whom Irene later married), was a composer at Universal Studios in Hollywood, California. Max Rapp and his entire family (including Bob) lived at 2323 Lorenzo Drive in Los Angeles, California. This house was built by Wallace Beery (the actor) in 1924 and Max and Irene bought the home in the 1930s. When Max became ill in the late 1950s with leukemia, he and Irene decided to sell the house. Robert bought the home from them in 1958 and lived there until his death from liver failure."
