Actor William Daniels (not to be confused with the Oscar-winning cinematographer of the same name) is turning 90 today. He made his Broadway debut in 1945 in the role of Clarence in Life With Father, and began working in television in the early fifties; interestingly, in light of Daniels’ future, one of his roles was as John Quincy Adams in a TV movie. During the sixties he began to get some significant supporting roles in film, such as playing Benjamin Braddock’s father in The Graduate. But it was with a 1969 Broadway musical, and the subsequent 1972 film adaptation, that he got his first starring role:

After he played John Adams in 1776, Daniels did periodic feature films, but concentrated on television. He had regular roles on several series through the years—some might recognize him as the voice of KITT from Knight Rider—but is particularly known for two. For much of the 1980s he starred as Dr. Mark Craig on St. Elsewhere, winning two Emmys for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series. Beginning in 1993, he played George Feeny on Boy Meets World for seven seasons; he has returned to the role a few times on Girl Meets World.
