Here are the first three characters:
Cecil Z. Swinehardt
Count Alfred Gehrol
Mr. Gigi

Harry Semels...
Here's Mine,
Tiny
Flora
Bills wife

Hey Rob,
Have you ever considered adding Three Stooges Filmography (http://threestooges.net/filmography.php) and Cast Member (http://threestooges.net/cast.php) databases and functions to this site? Crew (http://threestooges.net/crew.php) too.
Each film's entry (http://threestooges.net/episode.php?id=166) could display its cast & crew information (http://threestooges.net/episode.castcrew.php?id=166), and all that could be cross-linked into the databases for each cast or crew member (http://threestooges.net/cast.php?id=425). Sure it'd be a lot of work... probably take years... but we could make the information much more complete and reliable than other websites, so there wouldn't be a need for readers to go to imdb, wikipedia, etc.
What'a'ya think?

That's John Tyrell.
How about the judge in "Disorder in the Court"? I don't recall him having a name in that short. (Hint: He was also the judge in "Reefer Madness").
-

The judge was Edward LeSaint, who on this site is listed as Captain Burke in "Half-Shot Shooters," which is impossible because they looked totally different, even in age.
How about this one:
Mr. Amscray
Pedro Ruiz
Jerry the insurance salesman
Blackie (of Blackie & Doyle)
-

He was in "Half-Shot Shooters," but he didn't play Burke. He was the guy behind the desk, who asked the Stooges questions, but they couldn't hear him.

OK, thanks for clearing that up. That old guy I remember.

I'd say that's Ted Lorch, one of my favorites. (Let's not forget Jerkington - "I hope you have a nice loooooong sleep")
Okay, we'll try this one. I listed 4 characters, but 1 of them only has a first name and 2 of them don't have names at all so I used the role description as credited:
German Captain
Herman
Fuller Grime
Hotel Detective

And subtract one... 'Fuller Grime' was played by Gene Roth.
-
And subtract one... 'Fuller Grime' was played by Gene Roth.
You're right. I apologize for my goof. Gene Roth appears as Fuller Grime in the same short, but the supporting player I had in mind is just credited as "Crook".
I need to find a few more shorts where our supporting player actually had a name. He is in so many, but I didn't realize how many times he appears without a name until I started looking up some of his roles.
How about a hint: In the short where he is credited as "Herman", his name is not spoken, but it appears in the logo on the driver's side door of his car (near the beginning of the short).

This guy, a/k/a "Longhorn Pete" in "Goofs and Saddles," is Stanley Blystone. Or is that Bly and the Family Stone? :-\

How about:
Sgt. Hugh Dare's wife
Nurse
Woman on Street (hint - she does a 3 face slap with her pocketbook in response to some census questions ending with "Most important, what's your phone number?")
-
That is a tough one. How about a hint- what kind of nurse and where?
-
Since I started participating in this quiz, I've noticed how many supporting actors appear in several Stooges shorts as characters without a name. This woman is apparently one of them.
I thought I gave a pretty good hint with the census reference. To the best of my memory, there were only 2 shorts that involved them being census takers; one with Curly & one with Shemp. There are, however, some Joe Besser shorts that I either haven't seen or I last saw when I was a youngster (hundreds of years ago).
Here's another hint. Sgt Hugh Dare was an army drill sergeant ("Everything happens to me"). In the same short, the Stooges were greeting card salesmen who tried to sell cards to his wife.
I gave out this question back in January 13, & now I can't find my notes, & don't recall what kind of a nurse she was or where. Sorry.

Another good looking tomato, Virginia Hunter. There was a very good article & interview with her in the THREE STOOGES JOURNAL not long ago.
I'll try this one, but I could only find two appearances with all 3 Stooges. Luckily, he had names and large parts in each of them:
Sgt Mullins
Chopper Kane

Dick Wessel was:
Sgt Mullins in Punchy Cowpunchers
and
Chopper Kane in Fright Night.

You are correct. According to this quiz's rules, it's now your turn to ask the next one. Or would you prefer to wait for an engraved invitation?
[pie]
-
Soitenly not. Now that I know the rules, I have one for you:
Moe: Now, listen grapehead, I'll explain this so even you can understand it
I have one episode in mind although I believe Moe said this in at least two shorts.

Well, the answer to that one is SLIPPERY SILKS, but you & Rico are somehow in the wrong thread; this is Name That Supporting Player. Check the Name That Classic Line thread.

Percy Pomeroy, convict # 41144, was played by Eddie Laughton. I swear I don't recall a character named Vance Rippemup, but Eddie Laughton played in a lot of Stooges shorts.

Joe Palma, who had numerous roles in the Three Stooges shorts, as well as being the "Fake Shemp".
Here's a new one:

As if this one isn't easy enough, he also played a movie Tarzan.
-
Jacques O'Mahoney
Ok....another easy one:
Butch McGee
Big Mike
Sir Satchel
[pie]
-
Jacques O'Mahoney
More correctly known as Jock Mahoney, of course. I always thought the somewhat lame attempt to disguise his real name was funny, though. Or was that actually his real name? I dunno..., maybe someone else does.

Thanks. Here's the address of the Wikipedia page:

And here, all this time, I was convinced a name like Jacques O'Mahoney was some kind of a gag on the name Jock Mahoney!!
-
Ok....another easy one:
Butch McGee

Sir Satchel
Also Terry "Slippery Fingers" Hargen. All played by Harold Brauer, one of my favorite supporting players.
I don't have another supporting player in mind right now; if anyone wants to jump in, go right ahead.

No takers? How about if I add another character?
The character doesn't have a name, but he is the manager of the Hotel Costa Plente.
-
James C. Morton played the four characters.
Lets see if i can stay on the right thread this time.
He was Mr. Johnson and also Lawyer Diggins
-
That's the famous Richard Fiske.
That one was already asked & correctly answered by Lefty (see page 1 of this thread)
I have a new one:
Nikko
Haffa Dalla
Red Watkins
-
I have a new one:
Nikko
Haffa Dalla
Red Watkins
Perhaps I should clarify. There are apparently two (2) Nikko's, played by 2 different actors. I was not referring to the Nikko in WHO DONE IT & FOR CRIMIN' OUT LOUD (played by Duke York), but to a different Nikko, who was Professor Panzer's assistant.

It was done already (see Page 3), but that's alright. Sooner or later, we're going to start running low on supporting players with multiple roles, so there's bound to be some repitition.
Here's a new one:
Bartender
Turnstile Guard
Louie
Gorilla Watson's manager
German sailor

That was Heinie Conklin
who played
Bartender: Out West

No takers? This guy actually had quite a few different roles in the Stooges shorts (most of them without a character name). Here's a few more hints:
Bubblegum Customer
Man on Train with Long Beard
-
Victor Travers, and I don't have a supporting player to name so feel free to continue the game without me.
-
Victor Travers, and I don't have a supporting player to name so feel free to continue the game without me.
Victor Travers is correct. I had no idea he was in so many shorts until I started playing this game. IMDb shows 86 acting credits for him from the late 1930s to the late 1940s.
Let's try a new one:
Dr. Hugo Gansamacher (note: the name is misspelled Gensamacher in the cast list for this short)
Uncle Mortimer
Radio Announcer
-

No answers? That was Moe, being a supporting player.

cpp, I'm drawing a blank on this one. Seems like it should be an easy one, but...
The only Justice of the Peace I can recall is Victor Travers, who was a JP in THE THREE TROUBLEDOERS and OILY TO BED, OILY TO RISE (where he was also Uncle Tim). Were there any other characters played by this guy?
-
How about:

I don't know of the next guy ever appearing with a character name, but played several notable roles:
Hospital Orderly
Cook
Roadside Worker
Night Watchman
Train Porter
-
That's Dudley Dickerson, unless anyone has a another name in mind that fits best.
-
No argument about Dudley Dickerson so far so let's go with another:
- referee
- waiter
- bellboy
- union soldier
-
No argument about Dudley Dickerson so far...
No argument at all, cpp. Dudley Dickerson was the right answer.
-
- referee
- waiter
- bellboy
- union soldier
cpp, are you perhaps referring to Cy Schindell? I don't recall him portraying a bellboy, but he's the only one I can think of who has played the other 3 roles.
-
Nope, not Cy - Johny Kascier.
Play on if you have one ready.
-
It always makes it a little harder when you have a supporting player whose character doesn't have a name.
This one should be easy. Looks like all his characters had names.
MacPherson
Chief Rain in the Puss
Prof. Sedletz
Col. Filbert
-
Ted Lorch
Another easy one:
- Trapella Weatherwax
- Mrs Morgan
- Mrs Winthrop

No guesses? It was Heine Conklin.
OK, here's an easier one:
- Gus
- Chief Crazy Horse
- Mr Pardon
-
OK, here's an easier one:
- Gus
- Chief Crazy Horse
- Mr Pardon
Well, I don't think it was all that easy. The actor was Murray Alper. I couldn't recall the names Chief Crazy Horse or Gus from any of the 190 shorts, but he was Mr. Pardon in TRICKY DICKS. It appears the other characters were from the feature length movies, which I haven't seen enough to be very familiar with.
Right now, I can't think of anyone that hasn't been used at least once. Even the previous one, Heinie Conklin has been used twice. If anyone else has one in mind, feel free to go ahead.
-
It's possible this one was used before, but here goes:
Jessie
Harem girl from Brooklyn
Baska Jones
