He played the CEO who Neil Page was pitching to in PLANES, TRAINS, AND AUTOMOBILES.

A great actor in the 60s and 70s. I had no idea he was still alive in 2012.

He was in a show in the Sixties that was based on the subtle humor of James Thurber. It was only on for one season, but I thought it was great. Of course, I was only a dumb teenager so what would I have known. I think it was named after one of Thurber’s books, “ My Life and Welcome To It”.

Good actor who should have been bigger.

I did not remember the name, but I remember “My World and Welcome To It.” One of the best series ever to appear on TV, in my humble opinion.

He probably “guest-starred” in more tv-series back in the 1960s-80s than ANY other actor. Gunsmoke, Star Trek, Twilight Zone, absolutely everything. In fact, I saw him just a few weeks ago in an episode of “The FBI,” playing a commie assassin.

His performance in “Star Trek” (The Doomsday Machine) was superb.

IIRC As originally concieved, the character of Commodore Matt Decker was to be loosely based on that of Capt. Ahab, with the planet killer in the role of Moby Dick.

William Windom made the character somewhat more tragic and sympathetic.

IMO One of the best episodes of “Star Trek”.

Great actor, RIP.

Yes, Windom was seemingly in everything on TV. I remember him from an old Twilight Zone epidose as "the major" who found himself in a barrel with four other characters and tried to figure out how to escape.

He was a very good actor...but I thought he was already dead! Kind of like John Astin.
