Ray Walston (December 2, 1914 - January 1, 2001), USA actor, born in New Orleans, Louisiana. His television roles included the title character on the situation comedy My Favorite Martian.
He tended to play characters that could safely be described as "curmudgeonly". His Martian illustrated that characterization well, constantly ridiculing the primitiveness of the earth's populace, an attitude exacerbated by his inability to fix his spacecraft. His forced earthbound existence clearly seemed like a Martian version of Purgatory to him... an ironic comparison, as his first major role in Damn Yankees was an especially "devilish" character.
His credits include:
- Early Bird Special (2001)
- My Favorite Martian (1999)
- Star Trek: The Next Generation & Star Trek: Voyager (Cameos as the character Boothby)
- House Arrest (1996)
- The Stand (1994)
- Of Mice and Men (1992)
- Picket Fences (1992-1996) (TV series)
- O.C. and Stiggs
- Johnny Dangerously (1994}
- Private School (1983)
- Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)
- Popeye (1980)
- The Sting (1973)
- My Favorite Martian (1963-1966) (TV series)
- Damn Yankees! (1958)
- South Pacific (1958)
