John Fiedler – Voice Actor Profile & Notable Roles

After his discharge from the Navy, Fiedler moved to Manhattan, New York City and attended the Neighborhood Playhouse, where his classmates included Tony Randall, James Doohan, Leslie Nielsen, Richard Boone and Joanne Woodward. He appeared as Homer Brown on the radio comedy The Aldrich Family, as Cadet Alfie Higgins on the 1950s TV show Tom Corbett, Space Cadet, and, in his 1957 film debut, as Juror #2 in 12 Angry Men. Although best known for his portrayals of meek or high-strung characters, Fiedler did occasionally escape type-casting in roles such as the presidential assassin in an episode of I Spy, a school principal moonlighting as a pimp on Vegas, and, most notably, Mr. Hengist, a Chief Administrator possessed by the spirit of Jack the Ripper in the original Star Trek episode "Wolf in the Fold" (1967).
