Recently while watching P+ on Buzzr, I recalled that in the credits of P+ and the original CS, it often listed as "Stage Managers," Cory Carson and Michael Gray. I know that Cory Carson is son of Johnny Carson; but does anybody know if Michael Gray is the same person who played the character Billy Batson on The Adventures of Shazam in the mid-1970s?

Spidey sense says no. Gray (the actor) did a panel during a Comic-Con in which he said "I went out for a part of a psychopathic killer for a nighttime soap and one of the guys on production said I couldn't do it. It didn't work. After a while I gave it up and tried something else. I moved up north and worked in theatre education for kids. Eventually I came back down to LA to give it another shot, but again, it didn't work. I had odd jobs here and there and then I found a lady, got married and ran a flower shop for many years. After too many hours working and not enough money, I quit that too, and now I work in one of the best men's clothing stores in the country. It's a job and I enjoy it."
If he were stage managing at any point, I think he’d have mentioned it (especially for a high profile gig like Johnny).

He also did a little spell voicing a caricature of himself during the sixth season of Archer, so there’s that.
