Wilfred Bailey Everett Bixby III (January 22, 1934–November 21, 1993) was an American actor, director, and producer. His career spanned more than three decades, during which he became well-known for a variety of television roles. Bixby achieved early popularity starring as Tim O'Hara in the CBS sitcom "My Favorite Martian" (1963-1966), and he later played the widowed father Tom Corbett in the ABC sitcom "The Courtship of Eddie's Father" (1969-1972). He was also recognized for his role as stage magician and detective Anthony Blake in "The Magician" (1973-1974). Bixby's most iconic role came in the late 1970s when he portrayed Dr. David Banner in the CBS science-fiction drama "The Incredible Hulk," a role he reprised in three television movies. In addition to acting, he directed numerous episodes of shows throughout his career. Bixby was nominated for three Emmy Awards. He passed away from complications of prostate cancer on November 21, 1993, at age 59. His enduring legacy is marked by his kind and compassionate portrayals and the versatility he brought to his work across television and film.
