Actor Born: December 30, 1932 in Denison, TX Biography:Natty, mellifluous character actor "John Hillerman" may have spoken on screen with a pure Mayfair accent, but he hailed from Denison, Texas. Hillerman first gained notice for his fleeting appearances in the films of "Peter Bogdanovich": "The Last Picture Show" (1971), What's Up Doc (1973), "At Long Last Love" (1975). He was also a semi-regular for director "Mel Brooks", prominently cast in "Blazing Saddles" (1975) and "History of the World, Part I" (1981). A veteran of dozens of television series, "John Hillerman" was cast as the insufferable criminologist Simon Brimmer on "Ellery Queen" (1975), the star's director (and ex-husband) in "The Betty White Show" (1975), and most memorably as the ultra-correct Jonathan Quayle Higgins II, major domo to never-seen mystery writer Robin Masters, on "Magnum PI" (1980-88). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
