Austrailan character actor John Orchard (born November 15, 1928-died November 3, 1995) appeared as Australian anesthetist Ugly John in the first season, and later appeared in 8.13 as disgruntled and drunken Australian MP Muldoon, who has an arrangement with Rosie the barkeeper: he takes bribes (in the form of liquor in his "coffee" mug) to "look the other way." Orchard's attempts at an Australian accent were a dismal failure as he was unable to disguise his Cockney origins.
