William Windom is the sort of actor with a filmography that reaches back further than most viewers remember. The first credits arrived long before the title most people know. 64 years of work add up to around 117 titles. The role of Mr. Gilmer in 'To Kill a Mockingbird' is the one that keeps being brought up. 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' belongs on any short list of his work. He won the Emmy for 'My World and Welcome to It'.

William Windom (September 28, 1923 – August 16, 2012) was an American actor. He is perhaps best known for his work on television, including several episodes of The Twilight Zone; playing the character of Glen Morley, a congressman from Minnesota like his own great-grandfather and namesake in The Farmer's Daughter; the character of John Monroe on the sitcom My World and Welcome to It, for which he won an Emmy Award for Best Actor in a Comedy Series; as Commodore Matt Decker, commander of the doomed U.S.S. Constellation in the Star Trek episode "The Doomsday Machine"; the character Randy Lane in the Emmy-nominated Night Gallery episode "They're Tearing Down Tim Riley's Bar" and perhaps that of the most common recurring character on the Emmy-winning series Murder, She Wrote, Seth Hazlitt.
