Mark Hammer is listed in the cast of 'Lies', 'Warheads',
'Questions', 'A tour of the city', 'Nightride', and 'Rent-a-family'.
In 'Rent-a-family' he's either the representative of Rent-a-family or
Arthur. I think he tells the other major stories in 'Lies'. I
haven't identified his roles in the other episodes. I welcome your
opinions.
He taught drama at Catholic University in DC 1966-1989,
appeared at DC's Arena Stage 70 times. (I must have seen him.)

on Broadway a few times: https://www.broadwayworld.com/people/MarkHammer/
off-Broadway 9 times: http://www.iobdb.com/CreditableEntity/4089
in a few movies: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0358481
His hometown paper, the San Jose 'Mercury News', published an
obit: https://www.mercurynews.com/2007/03/26/mark-hammer-veteran-actor
His brother is Philip Hammer, husband of San Jose's former
mayor Susan Hammer; they're patrons of the Philip and Susan Hammer
Theatre there.
He was married to Carolyn Swift, who appears in 2 of Joe's
shows. I think she's Kathy in 'Rent-a-family', which would make him a
convenient Arthur.
