Fritz Weaver is a prolific American actor and voice actor. Born January 19, 1926 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he was a conscientious objector during the Second World War, breaking into acting in the early 1950s.
His first television role came in 1956, on an episode of The United States Steel Hour. He would continue to appear on television during the next four decades, appearing on such shows as The Twilight Zone, Dr. Kildare, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Rawhide, Mission: Impossible, Combat!, Gunsmoke, Mannix, Kung Fu, Hawaii Five-O, Magnum P.I., Murder, She Wrote, Matlock, Law and Order, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, The X-Files, and Frasier.
