'Ryan's Hope' Actor Hindman Dies
NEW YORK - Actor Earl Hindman, best known for playing a neighbor whose face was forever obscured by a fence on the television show "Home Improvement," died of lung cancer Monday in Stamford, Conn. He was 61.
As Wilson, the neighbor of Tim Allen's character on
the long-running sitcom, Hindman dispensed folksy advice from behind a white
picket fence, with only his eyes and forehead visible to audiences. Before
appearing on the show, he played Detective Lt. Bob Reid for 16 years on the
daytime drama "Ryan's Hope."
Hindman made his name in New York theater, appearing in "Dark of the Moon"
off Broadway in 1970 and in "The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel" at the Public
Theater in 1971. He also acted in two short-lived Broadway plays and in several
movies, including "The Ballad of the Sad Cafe" (1991) and "Final" (2001).
He was born in Bisbee, Ariz., and studied acting at the University of Arizona
in Tucson.
