    Anyone know who is playing an archtop in Gordon Ford's band in season 5 of Mrs Maisel? He looks familiar but I can't place him.

    I haven't started watching season 5 yet, but is this the guitarist, Jim Hershman?

    It does look like him. But the camera doesn't stay on him long.

    Jim Hershman's name is in the credits of the show as a member of The Gordon Ford Band. So pretty sure that is correct!

    That's Jim in Roger Borys' shop. He's a great Broadway musician who is a Borys fanatic. I think he's got all three of them.

    Just finished the series and was wondering the same thing. Looked like an authentic player, not an actor… vanishing breed, figured it had to be someone from the NY area. Such a great show, the period detail is refreshing.

    I know Jack Wilkins played rhythm guitar on a song for the show a couple years ago. He was not on camera though, but he was on camera in the movie "The Joker".
