James Gregory was born on 23 December 1911 in The Bronx, NY. By 1935, he had turned an acting hobby into a career, and with 1939's Key Largo, he moved to Broadway, where he would act in numerous productions for the next sixteen years. Around 1955, he moved from stage to television and film, ultimately appearing in four regular television series roles, about fifty movies (including a role as General Ursus in Beneath the Planet of the Apes), and well over a hundred television guest appearances, including his 1966 role as Tristan Adams in TOS: "Dagger of the Mind.
