John Donald Fiedler (February 3, 1925 – June 25, 2005) was an American actor. His career lasted more than 55 years in stage, film, television and radio. Fiedler's high, flutey voice was instantly recognizable.[1] He was typecast beginning early in his career for delicate, quiet, nerdy characters, although he also played sneaky villains.[1] 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 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 cronies, in the film The Odd Couple (1968); and Emil Peterson, the hen-pecked milquetoast husband on The Bob Newhart Show.
