When I was a kid, William Daniels was famous for being the voice of KITT on Knight Rider.
And a doctor on St. Elsewhere if you go a bit farther back
A few years ago Hulu had the first season available; excellent show, I was too young to want to watch it when it first came on.
My wife moans his name during sex.
FEE-HEE-HEE-NEY!
That’s nice and wholesome
He was great in 1776.
EDIT: the movie, not the year.
Funfact: William Daniels played John Adams in the musical 1776 on Broadway and on film. The high school he is the principal of on Boy Meets World is John Adams High
Double funfact: in the sequel series Girl Meets World, Riley (Corey and Topanga's daughter) attends John Quincy Adams High, named for the son of John Adams
William Daniels or Mr. Feeney?
And they have an open marriage
Knight Rider started a month earlier than St Elsewhere.
I remember William Daniels from Soap yet looking it up now that was just one episode. He clearly made an impression.
They both won Emmies on the same night in 1985.
Will someone shut that man up?!
And they got married in the show! She played the Dean. Also the Pod Meets World episode with them will warm your heart.
Interesting, I thought St. Elsewhere had already been on the air for a year or two when Knight Rider aired. TIL.
And an open marriage nearly ended their relationship.
I watched Knight Rider in the 80s and grew up with Boy Meets World in the 90s (Me and Ben Savage are same age) and I didn't make that connection until my 20s.
That voice is just iconic... they need a siri makeover.. in another time-line he'd be the voice prompt
Piddle Twiddle and Resolve is one of my all-time favorite songs from musicals.
Ahh yes Mr Mathews. How may I help you?
Very good, Mr Shapiro
They were both on St. Elsewhere!
John Cullum singing Molasses to Rum was quite epic as well.
This dude absolutely steals the show in a criminally underrated 80s comedy called "Blind Date." He hates his son (played by John Laroquette) and belittles him at every chance he can. Perfect deadpan humor.
The Nissan copy! THE NISSAN COPY!!!
They have an open marriage!
He plays a great John Adams in 1776 too
FEENEY!
I 100% can hear this in Eric’s voice.
Used to, but it hasn’t been an open marriage since the 1970s.

Thank you for the recommendation! I somehow have not heard of this movie despite the cast being very good. I shall watch it this weekend!
And Bartlett was his wife on the show.
Respectful-LEE, I agree.
That is a fun fact, thanks for sharing :)
>Oh shit. That guy. What a distinctive voice
wonder what challenges they’ve faced in their marriage, what their failures and successes were.

Bless them both.
John Cullum is another actor in a long marriage--since 1959.
What are you talking about? He's obnoxious and disliked!
1776 is my favorite thing to watch on Independence Day.
"Someone ought to open up a window!"
Additional fun fact, John Quincy Adams was not just son of John Adams, but also served as America's 6th president.
Came here to mention 1776... and that movie was 50+ years ago!

Great, now I have to go listen to it
Sit down John.
My favorite was His singing "is anybody there" that send shivers down my spine hearing it
Through Judeo-Christain logic, you can make a reasonable assumption as to what Mr. Feeney's penis smells like.
My grandparents have got that beat :). Not a Hollywood couple though.
I'll have to check that out. I like a lot of both those actors.
That's a very interesting read. Thank you.
He had an interesting role in Her Alibi as well. I still recall his comment after his girlfriend (acquaintance? It's been a decade or more) had her stomach pumped and said something about the being the biggest thing she's ever had on her mouth. He said "That's not what I've heard." So deadpan and dripping with innuendo.

His birthday tomorrow
