Let’s all join in sending our best wishes to one of Sci-Fi’s most enduring former child stars!
Bill(y) Mumy is perhaps best known for 2 roles: Will Robinson in [i]Lost In Space[/i] (the original series) and Lennier in [i]Babylon 5[/i]. What is often forgotten is that he’s enjoyed a lifelong career in show business, working steadily, and always with a good sense of humor and affection for his past work. Under the name “Art Barnes,” Bill was 1/2 of the comedy music duo Barnes and Barnes, creators of the incredible novelty hit and Dr. Demento favorite, “Fish Heads.”
If I had to choose my personal favorite Mumy role, it’d come down to this: tied for second would be his Barnes & Barnes work and his role as Jackie Chester in the [i]Alfred Hitchcock Presents[/i] episode, “Bang! You’re Dead!”
But first, always first, would be his role as Anthony Freemont in the classic [i]Twilight Zone[/i] episode, “It’s a Good Life.”

It’s a GOOD thing that it’s your birthday, Billy! Just don’t wish me into the cornfield!
