A GEM OF A GIFT priest!" says Tom Bosley of the Father Dowling role he had on Tv'f-Tather Dowling Mysteries," which rar,tlearly three years be- ginning in 1989:- Tom Bosley has fai.thThi thes- ture — and in the importance to his life of playing the part of per- former. "I recently had a colosto- my," he says of the operation which kept him out of Beauty and the Beast for a number of months until recently. `The colostomy is reversible — it will be fixed in seven, eight months — but it was a big ad- justment for me," says Mr. Bosley, who took it hard having to handle artificially what was once a natural function. "But one day, I said to myself that I'm an actor and that this is a part I will have to play for the next seven or eight months so I better damn well do it." Tom Bosley has adjusted to the limited-run well. While this med- ical problem is a short-term set- back, there is one longstanding problem that promises to plague the actor. A the-hard baseball fan who feels shut out by the continuing strike, Mr. Bosley is used to let- downs. 'It is hard to explain why there are such things as Cubs fans," sighs the resigned Chica- go native. ❑ SZ Productions Two-Part Program Shaarey Zedek Productions will present in December a two-part program.
