Bill Bixby (January 22, 1934 – November 21, 1993) was an American actor, director and frequent game show panelist who starred in three popular American television series that spanned nearly two decades. In the course of a career that spanned over thirty years, he was best known for his roles such as Tim O'Hara in My Favorite Martian (1963–1966), as Tom Corbett, the title role in The Courtship of Eddie's Father (1969–1972); and as Dr. David Banner in The Incredible Hulk (1978–1982) with Lou Ferrigno. He also starred in The Magician (1973) and in a short-lived comedy, Goodnight Beantown with Mariette Hartley in 1984.
An only child, he was born as Wilfred Bailey Bixby, a fourth-generation Californian, in San Francisco, California. His father, Wilfred Everett Bixby, was a store clerk and his mother, Jane Bixby, was a department store owner. When Bixby was 8, his father enlisted in the Navy during World War II and traveled to the South Pacific. While in the seventh grade, Bixby attended Grace Cathedral and sang in the church's choir. In one notable incident, he shot the bishop using a slingshot during one service and was kicked off the choir. In 1946, his mother encouraged him to take ballroom dance lessons and from there he started dancing all around the city. While dancing, he attended Lowell High School where he perfected his oratory and dramatic skills as a member of the Lowell Forensic Society. Though he received average grades, he also competed in high school speech tournaments regionally. After graduation from high school in 1952, against his parents' wishes, he majored in drama at San Francisco City College, where he was a classmate to another future young actress and a winning Miss America contestant who was Miss California 1954, Lee Meriwether, who's just 1 year Bixby's junior. Later, he attended the University of California, Berkeley, his parents' alma mater. Just four credits short of earning a degree, Bixby dropped out of college and was drafted into the Marines.

He then moved to Hollywood where he had a string of odd jobs that included bellhop and lifeguard. He organized shows at a resort in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. In 1959, he was hired to work as a model and to do commercial work for General Motors and Chrysler.
