Q: Was "Father Dowling Mysteries" based on anything? Are there books?
There are books, and then there are other books. This could lead you down a deep literary rabbit hole.
"Father Dowling Mysteries," the feather-light mystery series starring Tom Bosley (of "Happy Days" fame) as a priest with a sideline in sleuthing, was based on a series of Father Dowling novels by American author Ralph McInerny.
However, mystery heads will note the character's similarities with another popular clergyman-turned-crime fighter, Father Brown.

Q: Who was the actor who played the deposed dictator in "The Bourne Identity" (one of my favorite movies)? I'm sure I recognize him from something.
You almost certainly do. Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje has been involved in some enormous film and TV projects over the past few years.
He was already on the Hollywood map before appearing in 2002's "The Bourne Identity," in the relatively small but demanding role of a deposed dictator trying to shake down the CIA (communicated through a series of wild-eyed, tooth-gnashing monologues).
