RIP William Windom

[yodakiller1138]

I was over on the 66batman forum and someone had a post announcing that William Windom from the Star Trek episode "The Doomsday Machine" has died at 88.

He was also a Twilight Zone alum. I think there was at least one other episode, but I remember him as The Major from "Five Characters in Search of an Exit".

Oh, he was a terrific character actor who was almost a household face in 1960s and 70s. He was in so many TV shows, he felt like an Uncle you see every holiday. He was a versatile actor and I will always remember him fondly. RIP!

Great character actor. I caught him in an episode of Mission Impossible not too long ago and thought about how good an actor he was.

Also, served as a paratrooper in the 82nd airborne during WWII.

I remember seeing him in just about everything (in syndication for me). RIP.

I remember him best from Murder She Wrote.
He was a great character actor. R.I.P William

 

[Apollo]

Another great character Actor gone

The last thing I remember him in was Murder She wrote where he was a reoccuring character

And I suppose Jessica Fletcher has an air tight alibi. She always does...

RIP to a fine actor.

He starred in a short-lived (but wonderful) sitcom called "My world, and Welcome to it!", based on James Thurber.

Yeah, he was in so many shows he felt like an uncle.

He reprised his role as Decker for an episode of Star Trek New Voyages. Regardless of what you think of the rest of the fan film, his role in it was brilliant.
