Guy Williams

Guy Williams is a fascinating reminder that an actor can be defined by two roles and still be iconic. As Zorro and as the Robinson patriarch in Lost in Space, he gave a couple of generations their dashing, reassuring hero. Born Armando Catalano in Manhattan, he made swashbuckling look effortless in the late fifties and sixties. The Disney Legends honor and a Walk of Fame star feel earned for someone who became a household face. I find it a little poignant too — that kind of typecasting fame can be both a gift and a cage. Either way, he left a warm, durable impression.
