Peter Michael Bergman (born June 11, 1953) is an American actor best known for his portrayals as Dr. Cliff Warner on All My Children (1979–89) as well as Jack Abbott on The Young and the Restless (1989–present).
The son of Walter Bergman, a United States Navy officer, he was born in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Bergman was married to actress Christine Ebersole from 1976 to 1981. In 1985, he married Mariellen, with whom he has two children.
Bergman originally auditioned for the All My Children role of Dr. Jeff Martin. His first notable role was his portrayal of Dr. Cliff Warner on All My Children, which he played from 1979 to 1987 and again from 1988-89. His character, Cliff, married Nina (Taylor Miller) four times (1980, 1982, 1986, and 1989) and divorced her three times. When the characters left the serial, their fourth marriage was intact.
In a Vicks Formula 44 cough syrup advertising campaign in 1986, Bergman told the viewing audience, "I’m not a doctor, but I play one on TV." Chris Robinson, who played Dr. Rick Webber on ABC's General Hospital, was the original spokesperson in the ad campaign, which started in 1984. Bergman replaced Robinson after the latter experienced some legal difficulties. The writer of the commercial used this opening line as a disclaimer, because the then-existing "white coat rule" prohibited people from portraying doctors in commercials without some sort of clarification/disclaimer. The original commercial with Chris Robinson became the most-recalled TV commercial in the history of the Vicks brand.
Peter Paul Bergman (November 29, 1939 – March 9, 2012) was an American writer and comedian, best known as a member of The Firesign Theatre. He played Lt. Bradshaw in the Nick Danger series. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio.
The Firesign Theatre was formed as a result of Bergman's show Radio Free Oz on KPFK. According to Bergman, "I started July 24th, 1966 on KPFK ... I had some very interesting people around me, which those folks became The Firesign Theatre: David Ossman was connected with the station, Phil Austin was connected with the station, and Phil Proctor came out to do a show and we connected in LA and that was really the genesis of that whole happening."
Bergman also coined the word "love-in" in 1967, and organized the first such event in April 1967 in Los Angeles.
Bergman was a graduate of Yale University and taught economics there as a Carnegie Fellow. As an undergraduate, he contributed to campus humor magazine The Yale Record. He also attended the Yale School of Drama as a Eugene O'Neill Playwriting Fellow and was a Woodrow Wilson Scholar. He worked with Tom Stoppard, Derek Marlowe, Piers Paul Read, and Spike Milligan.

Doctor X is a 1932 American First National/Warner Bros. Pre-Code horror/mystery film. Based on the play originally titled The Terror (New York, February 9, 1931) by Howard W. Comstock and Allen C. Miller, it was directed by Michael Curtiz and stars Lionel Atwill, Fay Wray and Lee Tracy.
The film was produced before the Motion Picture Production Code was enforced. Themes such as murder, rape, cannibalism and prostitution are interwoven into the story. The film was one of the last films made, along with Warner Bros' Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933), in the two-color Technicolor process. Black and white prints were shipped to small towns and to foreign markets, while color prints were reserved for major cities.
Doctor X is a graphic mystery-horror film with some tongue-in-cheek comedic elements. It is considered by some to be of the "old dark house" genre of horror films, and takes place in 1932 New York City and Long Island.
Reporter Lee Taylor (Lee Tracy) is investigating a series of pathological murders that have taken place over a series of months in New York City. The murders always take place at night, under the light of a full moon (the newspapers dubbing them the "Moon Killer Murders"). Furthermore, each body has been cannibalized after the murder has taken place. Witnesses to the events describe a horribly disfigured "monster" as the killer.
Beyond the pale, beneath the moon
He crawls the walls for you
With teeth like nails that sink to bone
Hard to swallow easy to chew
Cold synthetic human flesh
Eats the mind and leaves the rest
On the night just like a whore
Bagged and tagged and never more
I've been bangin' and hangin' with Dr. X
He's the one that's gonna put you in a hex
Got me bangin' and hangin' with Dr. X
You better hope and pray that you are not his next
A scream from Fay, a Wray of moon
This lunatic is stalking you
At Blackstone shoals the madness grooves
Wicked Wells will make his move
Scalpel shinning in the night
Turned crimson red to his delight
Claws gripping round your breath
The horror dripping down your neck
I've been bangin' and hangin' with Dr. X
He's the one that's gonna put you in a hex
Got me bangin' and hangin' with Dr. X
He's the one that's going to get you maybe next
Red rolling blood shot his eyes seek a victim tonight
Hangs in the shadows your last breath a puff of pure
fright
Tear gently falling he leans down death kiss you
goodnight
Cold synthetic human flesh
Eats the mind and leaves the rest
On the night just like a whore
Bagged and tagged and never more
I've been bangin' and hangin' with Dr. X
He's the one that's gonna put you in a hex
Got me bangin' and hangin' with Dr. X
Better hope and pray that you are not his next
I've been bangin' and hangin' with Dr. X
He's the one that's gonna put you in a hex
Got me bangin' and hangin' with Dr. X
