Actor Born: 1920 in Hayter, Alberta, Canada Death: April 16, 1994 Biography:He was born John Williams, but there already was a John Williams in show business (several of them, in fact), so the Canadian-born actor selected "John McLiam" as his professional moniker. McLiam's man-on-the-street countenance could be molded into a vast array of characterizations, ranging from a cockney low-life ("My Fair Lady") to a Southern redneck ("Cool Hand Luke"). The actor's bland normality was a key factor in his being cast as real-life murder victim Herbert Clutter in 1967's "In Cold Blood." John McLiam accepted more TV guest-star assignments than can possibly be listed here; he was also a regular on the weekly series "Men From Shiloh" (1970) and "Two Marriages" (1983). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
