John Fiedler
John Donald Fiedler (February 3, 1925 – June 25, 2005) was an American actor. Recognizable for his distinctive voice, Fiedler's career lasted more than 55 years in stage, film, television and radio.
Fiedler was typecast beginning early in his career for delicate, quiet, nerdy characters, although he also played sneaky villains. His roles include the meek Juror No. 2 in 12 Angry Men (1957); the seemingly benign gentleman who tries to prevent the Younger family from moving into a whites-only neighborhood in A Raisin in the Sun (1961); the mean department store manager Mr. Dundee in the Twilight Zone episode "The Night of the Meek" (1962); the voice of Piglet in Disney's Winnie the Pooh productions (1966–2005); Vinnie, one of Oscar's poker cronies, in the film The Odd Couple (1968); milquetoast middle-aged patient Mr. Emil Peterson in The Bob Newhart Show (1972–1978); and neurotic stage manger Woody Deschler in Buffalo Bill (1983–1984).
