Bill Williams (actor)
Bill Williams, born Herman August Wilhelm Katt,〔 〕 (May 15, 1915 – September 21, 1992) was an American television and film actor. He is best known for his starring role in the early television series, ''The Adventures of Kit Carson'', which aired in syndication from 1951-55.
==Career==
Williams was born in Brooklyn, New York〔 to German immigrant parents. He attended Pratt Institute, calling himself William H. Katt, and became a professional swimmer, performing in underwater shows. He landed a walk-on role as a theatre usher in ''King Kong'' (1933). He enlisted in the United States Army during World War II, but was discharged before the end of the conflict and became an actor. He made his credited debut in ''The Blue Room'' in 1944, using the professional name Bill Williams. His first starring role opposite Susan Hayward in ''Deadline at Dawn'' (1946) made him a star.
Williams had appeared in ten films before he landed the lead role in ''The Adventures of Kit Carson,'' which ran for 104 episodes. After the series ended, Williams' star power quickly fizzled out. It was briefly revived in 1957 when he co-starred with Betty White in television's ''Date with the Angels''. Williams played Federal agent Martin Flaherty in ''The Scarface Mob'' (1959), the pilot for ABC's ''The Untouchables''. In the series, however, the role went to Jerry Paris. In 1958, Williams turned down the lead in ''Sea Hunt'' because he believed that an underwater show would not work well on television. Lloyd Bridges accepted the part and turned it into a hit. Williams then starred as a former Navy frogman in ''Assignment: Underwater'', which ran for just one season. He played a variety of roles on ''Perry Mason'', in which his wife Barbara Hale co-starred with Raymond Burr as his secretary Della Street. In the 1962 episode, "The Case of the Crippled Cougar," he played defendant Mike Preston. In 1963 he played murder victim Floyd Grant in "The Case of the Bluffing Blast." In 1965 he played murderer Charles Shaw in "The Case of the Murderous Mermaid," and murderer Burt Payne in "The Case of the 12th Wildcat". Williams appeared in a final season episode of ''Ironside'' along with his son, bringing him together again with Raymond Burr. He also made guest appearances on television and worked in low-budget science fiction films until his retirement.
