Bill Macy - Biography

Bill Macy (born Wolf Martin Garber; May 18, 1922) is an American television, film and stage actor, born in Revere, Massachusetts, to Mollie (née Friedopfer) and Michael Garber, a manufacturer. He was raised in Brooklyn, New York, and worked as a cab driver before pursuing acting.
Appreciating Macy's comedic skills Off Broadway, Norman Lear brought him to Hollywood, where he first got a small part as a police officer in All in the Family. He was then cast in the role of Walter Findlay, the long-suffering husband of the title character on the 1970s television situation comedy Maude, starring Bea Arthur. The show ran for six seasons from 1972 to 1978.

Strangers on the street would often call him "Mr. Maude", consoling him for having such a difficult wife. "I used to tell them that people like that really existed," Macy explained.
In 1986, Macy was a guest on the fourth episode of L.A. Law, playing an older man whose young wife wants a music career. Macy appeared in the television movie Perry Mason and The Case Of The Murdered Madame (1987) as banker Richard Wilson. He appeared occasionally on Seinfeld as one of the residents of the Florida retirement community where Jerry Seinfeld's parents lived. Macy made a guest appearance as a patient on Chicago Hope, and as an aging gambler on the series Las Vegas. Macy's last television role occurred in a 2010 episode of Jada Pinkett Smith's series Hawthorne.
Macy met his future wife, Samantha Harper, on the set of Oh! Calcutta! in 1969. They married in 1975.
