One of my favorites, excellent acting on his part.

Windom was a lifelong chess enthusiast, and one of the best players in Hollywood, I am told.

He was a common presense in a lot of TV series and movies in the 1960 and 70s, someone who ends up almost feeling like a friend you see them so often.

His world, and I thank him for welcoming us to it.

His best role (as much as I adore Doomsday Machine) was in The Twilight Zone:
