Continuity mistake: When Gage sees Sheila in the hallway at Rampart while she's undercover, he stops her midway between treatment room three and four and they are standing face to face.

Neat trick for Vince to be in two places at the same time.

Correct, it was J. Pat O'Malley...he also played the grandfather with his grandson when their rocket exploded, and also played "Old Bill" in the episode with Ann Prentiss, where Gage saves the little girl from the burning tree house, and her mother falls in love with him.
