#6: John Pankow Now
After the series, Pankow continued to enjoy a steady acting career. He appeared in Episodes alongside Matt LeBlanc, earning praise for his sharp comedic delivery, and took roles in The Good Wife, Madam Secretary, and various Broadway productions.

He remains a respected working actor known for versatility and subtle humor. While Ira Buchman remains his most recognized role, Pankow’s career shows his ability to blend comedy and sincerity — just like he did as Paul’s endlessly entertaining cousin.
