Bill Macy (born Wolf Marvin Garber, May 18 1922, Revere, Massachusetts) is an American actor, best known for his portrayal of Walter Findlay, Bea Arthur's long-suffering husband on the 1970s television sitcom Maude.

Macy, before his success in Maude, was something of an entertainment journeyman, performing in comedy clubs, playing bit parts in movies as well as television shows, including The Edge of Night and All in the Family. He also performed nude as a member of the original cast of Oh! Calcutta! in 1969.

An accomplished television actor, he has appeared on many shows, including Hanging In (a short-lived 1979 Maude spin-off), The Edge of Night, St. Elsewhere, Hotel, Tales from the Darkside, Highway to Heaven, L.A. Law, The Facts of Life, Murder, She Wrote, Father Dowling Mysteries, Matlock, Diagnosis: Murder, Chicago Hope, Seinfeld, The Lone Gunmen, Jack & Jill, Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place, Touched by an Angel, and ER.

Additionally, Macy has also appeared in many theatrical and made-for-TV movies, notably Serial (1980), All Together Now, Diary of a Young Comic, Bad Medicine, and Analyze This.

He should not be confused with younger film and stage actor William H. Macy to whom he is no relation.
