Actor who played Ben Knauf (Knouf?) in "Turn of Events"


I notice that actor who plays the murdered man isn't in the cast listed on IMDb. He has no lines, but should be listed. Not sure he was listed in credits at end of episode.

I just looked at my DVD of this episode from the Naked City boxed set.
The name of the actor who played Ben Knauf was not listed in the credits at the end of the episode.
Actress Jan Miner was listed as playing Mrs. Knauf, but no clue as to who played Ben.

Exactly. This must have to do with the fact that the actor had no lines. But you'd think he'd get a credit somewhere since he did do some acting.

It's always possible that they used someone like an assistant director or someone from the crew to fill the role, but maybe that would violate some type of actors' union rule.
I did notice that Ben's eyelids moved after he was supposedly dead.
