The first was on the medical drama St. Elsewhere starring Ed Begley, Jr., Bruce Greenwood, and Norman Lloyd in "Getting Ahead" (1987), followed by the teen crime drama 21 Jump Street in the interestingly titled "Next Generation" with fellow TNG guest Michael Ensign. Gregory's last single guest appearance was on the short-lived Houston Knghts in "Bad Paper" with Nicholas Worth.

Gregory's most stable television work as well as an actor outright is the recurring role as Dr. Kyle Beresford on the Law & Order spin-off Special Victims Unit.
