Hillerman is probably best known for his role as Higgins, opposite Tom Selleck in the classic TV show Magnum P.I. He starred in all 158 episodes of the show and went down in TV history.
before that Hillerman was in other TV shows and my first introduction to him was in the show "Ellery Queen" in which he appeared in many episodes as the snobbish radio star Simon Brimmer. He made many guest starring roles in other shows such as "Wonder Woman", "Delvecchio" and "Serpico" to name a few.
He appeared in several movies as well including the unforgettable "Blazing Saddles" as Howard Johnson. His voice is what made him famous as well as his cool acting style.
He passed away on Nov. 9th, 2017 at the age of 84.
