John Fiedler

John Donald Fiedler (February 3, 1925 – June 25, 2005) was an American actor and voice actor, who was slight, balding, and bespectacled, with a distinctive, high-pitched voice. His career lasted more than 55 years in stage, film, television and radio. Among his best-known roles are the nervous Juror #2 in 12 Angry Men (1957); the benign-seeming gentleman who tries to prevent the Younger family from moving into a whites-only neighbourhood in A Raisin in the Sun (1961); the voice of Piglet in Disney's Winnie-the-Pooh productions; Vinnie, one of Oscar's poker buddies in the film The Odd Couple (1968); the government official who gets possessed by the spirit of Jack the Ripper on the Star Trek episode "Wolf in the Fold" (1967), and Mr. Emil Peterson, the hen-pecked husband on The Bob Newhart Show.
