Question: I have been watching reruns of "Matt Houston" starring Lee Horsley. I have not seen him in any TV shows or movies in a long time. Is he still in the business? -- V.J., Utica, N.Y.Answer: The Muleshoe, Texas, native hasn't had a hit since the 1980s action series "Matt Houston," now in reruns on TNN. Horsley's last outing was the disastrous 1998 series "Wind on Water" with Bo Derek. It was yanked after two weeks.
Question: Although he is not a big box-office moneymaker or a Hollywood hunk, we often see actor William H. Macy. Years ago, an actor who played husband to Maude (Bea Arthur) was named Bill Macy. Any relationship there? -- A.L.G., Cumberland, R.I.
Answer: None. The younger Macy uses the name William H. to avoid confusion with the 1970s actor, familiar to Maude fans as husband Walter Findlay. William H. (for Hall) Macy may not be considered a hunk, but he stays pretty busy in some of Hollywood's most high-profile films, including "Fargo," "Air Force One," "A Civil Action" and "Magnolia." TV fans will remember him on "ER" as the haggis-eating Dr. Morgenstern and, this season, opposite real-life wife Felicity Huffman on "Sports Night."
Question: I believe that Ted McGinnity had a full-time role on "The Love Boat." My wife and family disagree with me. Could you please let me know if I'm correct. -- S.G.,Sacramento, Calif.
Answer: Maybe the confusion is in the name. Actor Ted McGinley ("Married . . . With Children," "Happy Days," "Dynasty") sailed on "The Love Boat" from 1984 to 1986 as ship photographer Ashley "Ace" Covington.
Question: With the upcoming Olympic Games, I'm wondering whether the 1970 TV movie "The Games" will be shown on TV. It was a very interesting movie about the Olympics and starred a young Ryan O'Neal, as well as "Michael Crawford of Phantom of the Opera" fame and the great French singer Charles Aznavour. I have tried in vain to find a video of the movie. -- M.B., Allen, Texas
Answer: "The Games," the story of four Olympic marathon hopefuls, is not currently in video release. There is a new online service called My Movies available on the Internet Movie Database site www.us.imdb.com. This free service helps you keep track of when the movie you are searching for will be on television or available on video. Check it out.
Question: Can you tell me who sings the theme song for the TV series "In the Heat of the Night"? It doesn't sound like Ray Charles, who sang the song for the movie. -- T.A., via e-mail

Question: Did the actress who plays Doug's wife on "The King of Queens" ever appear on "Family Ties"? If not, what series was she on? -- S.H., Noro, Calif.

Question: I don't hear much about Robert Wagner and wonder what he's up to. Is Jack Wagner his son? I certainly enjoy watching Jack and he reminds me so much of Robert. -- M.H., Riverside, Calif.
Answer: Screen and TV star Robert Wagner ("Austin Powers," "Hart to Hart") just completed a new movie to premiere in September on E! cable channel. "Becoming Dick," directed by Bob Saget ("Full House," "America's Funniest Home Videos"), also stars Harland Williams and Elizabeth Berkeley. The actor has three daughters, no sons.

Question: I was watching the April 27 episode of "ER," and heard a song when Dr. Greene took his father out on the boat. The song sounded familiar, but I am not able to remember the artist or the title. -- J.G., Smithfield, R.I.
Answer: It was Simon and Garfunkel's "Bookends."
Question: I watched Law & Order on TV for several years. My favorite star was the beautiful prosecutor Claire, played by Jill Hennessy. She seems to have disappeared. I thought she would appear again on another show or in the movies. Please tell me what has happened to her. -- R.P., Sacramento, Calif.
Answer: Hennessy has worked steadily since her departure from Law & Order, mostly in low-budget or indie films, though. But she has two high-profile projects in the works: the Canadian-filmed miniseries Nuremberg, with Alec Baldwin, and the big-screen drama Autumn in New York, co-starring Richard Gere. In February, actress Carey Lowell, who replaced Hennessy on Law & Order in 1996, and Gere became parents of a baby boy named Homer.
