Biography
John Donald Fielder (February 3, 1925 - June 25, 2005) was an American actor. The son of an Irish-German beer salesman, Fiedler knew he wanted to be an actor from the childhood days when he had a full head of reddish-yellow hair. He made his first professional appearances on stage, branched out into live TV in New York and, then, during the 20 years he lived in Hollywood (1960-80), turned up in many films and an ever greater number of popular TV series. His career lasted more than 55 years in stage, film, television, and radio.
