So, I saw Avengers Endgame last night and had Hulk in my mind. Though you didn't list David Banner yet, it triggered a mind link. Tim O'Hara was from My Favorite Martian. I think Anthony Blake was The Magician. One of the others was probably Eddie's Father.
Jack McFarlane was a character on a show in the late 90s until 2006.
The same character appears on the same show from 2017 to the present. He's been a regular character, played by the same actor, in every season of the show.
There aren't a lot of shows which have been around for 20 years. SNL and the Simpsons come to mind. But one should be able to come up with more than three characters for performers in either of those shows. Without googling "Jack McFarlane" or "Grimm," I'm at a loss.
Who said the show has been around for 20 years? I said he starred on the show until 2006. I said he reprised his role in 2017. I said he didn't miss a single season.
In any event, the show is Will & Grace, and Jack is played by Sean Hayes, who did a stellar job as Larry Fine and as Jerry Lewis.

He was looking for it to use as a clue in a game round a few weeks after he was looking for it. Meanwhile, I hope he posts the next one soon.

Refreshing the page after submitting works, too. George

Well ... yeah. I was about 15 when it came out. (Saw it a couple of years later, when I was in college.) Fonda DID win the Best Actress Oscar for the performance. George

Is that right?
Very well then, we're going way back. Not way, way back. But not just back either. Way back. This actor played:
Tim O'Hara
Tom Corbin
Dick Bender
Anthony Blake

Some of those may sound a bit familiar, but nothing's springing to mind. Mrs Wolf couldn't answer it yet, either.

Could be just a coincidence but Meg Ryan played a character called Kate Mackay in Kate & Leopold. I don't know if her character had a middle name.

This is not Meg Ryan.
One might consider the timeframe of names like Nanette, Marjorie, and Josephine.

Any chance this was DEBBIE REYNOLDS?

Debbie Reynolds died a day after her daughter. You're thinking of the wrong day.

I considered that, but didn't think CARRIE FISHER was in this many roles.

Any chance at all that this is a voice actor who gets a lot of work, like ROB PAULSEN or PHIL LAMAR?

No.
Not a whole lot on screen.
He did serve as executive producer of a show you never would associate him with: Grimm.
