Richard Herd, Seinfeld's Mr. Wilhelm, dies at 87
The Boston native broke into show business as a stage actor in New York. He made his film debut in 1970s “Hercules in New York.” Herd was cast as a replacement for Richard Long for the part of Watergate burglar James McCord in Alan J. Pakula’s “All the President’s Men.”
Herd’s big screen credits included “The China Syndrome” “F.I.S.T.” , “The Onion Field” , “Planes, Trains and Automobiles” and “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” . He portrayed Supreme Commander John in the 1983 NBC miniseries “V” and its sequel; the Klingon L’Kor on “Star Trek: The Next Generation”; Admiral William Noyce on “seaQuest 2032”; and Admiral Owen Paris on “Star Trek: Voyager” and “Star Trek: Renegades.
Herd became best known for appearing 11 times on “Seinfeld” seasons as Mr. Wilhelm, the inept New York Yankees exec who supervised George Costanza after he landed a job as an assistant to the traveling secretary. “He was always doing things that never got done and always going over to Mr. Steinbrenner and apologizing to him,” Herd said of Wilhelm in a 2016 interview.
Herd is survived by his wife of 40 years, Patricia Crowder Herd. Survivors also include his daughter Erica, son Rick and stepdaughter Alicia.
