James Gregory as General Ursus - Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970)

James Gregory (General Ursus) taking a smoke break between takes on Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970).

Gregory wasn't putting on airs with the cigarette holder. It was essential equipment for him and the other ape actors who smoked, because the mouth prosthesis prevented them from getting the cigarette in their actual mouth.

For those trying to keep track of which Gorilla was in which film General Ursus was in Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970), played by James Gregory.

Claude Akins played General Aldo in Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973). I don't remember him having the helmet that Ursus and Urko wore though.

Mark Lenard played General Urko (or Chief of Security Urko) in the TV series (1974) and a General Urko was voiced by Thomas Corden in the animated Return to the Planet of the Apes series (1975).

I don't count any of the later movies as their uniforms weren't as good.
