Was Mary Richards Ex Fiance Ever Shown?
The one that caused Mary to move to the big city? If so, who played him?

Mary's ex, Bill (Angus Duncan), made his one and only appearance in the pilot.

Yes, he comes to Minneapolis right in the pilot to attempt to win her back. It doesn't work, of course. And the bit in that scene w/ Lou drunkenly contributing to the conversation is hilarious. "I miss you more than....roses in winter!" hehe!

I love when Rhoda comes in just as Lou leaves: "If that's Bill, you're not missing much!"

Ha ha, yes, that was a great scene!
In fact, in the second frame grab above, you can see Lou in the background! |

Ah, I had almost forgotten that he was in the pilot. It's obviously been too long since I've seen it!
Looking back, it seems like Mary really didn't "miss much" by dumping this guy. Seemed like a real dud to me.

Well, at least Ted was an entertaining buffoon - Bill was just plain dull.
