You didn't imagine it. As others have said, John Randolf played Frank Costanza in "The Handicap Spot" episode. What the others did not say, was that Jerry Stiller has played Frank Costanza since then, and in the syndicated episode of "The Handicap Spot" they reshot the scenes with Jerry Stiller playing Frank Costanza.

Is John Randolph the actor who played a revered sportswriter on LOU GRANT who was sitting on a story that a newer writer wanted to work on?
