Personable little guy best known for his role in the 1960s TV series, "Lost in Space".Charles William Mumy, Jr., was born to Charles and Muriel Mumy in San Gabriel, California on February 1, 1954. Billy's acting career began at the age of 5 years in 1959. He has worked on an amazing number of television shows (over 400), 16 motion pictures, various commercials, and scores of voice overs. He is probably best known as "Will Robinson" in the classic 1960's series "Lost in Space". Most Americans if the day will rember the refrain "Danger Will Robinson". One of his earliest films was the awful Palm Springs Weekend (1963). He was about 7/8 and played a charmingly boyish brat--the only redeeming aspect of the film. Other films have included: The Wizard of Bagdad (1960), Tammy Tell Me True (1961), Sammy The Way Out Seal (1962--Petey), Palm Springs Weekend (1962), A Child Is Waiting (1963), A Ticklesh Affair (1963), Dear Brigitte (1965--Erasmus Leaf), Rascal (1969--Sterling North), and Bless The Beasts And The Children (1971--Teft). As a adult his most importanr role has been Lennier the alien Ambassadorial aide in the award winning science fiction series Bablyon 5.

Billy appeared extensively on television. One appearance was in an episode of "Twilight Zone" (1961). I believe he appeared in three other episodes. He is probably best known as "Will Robinson" in the classic 1960's series "Lost in Space". Most Americans if the day will remrmber the refrain "Danger Will Robinson".

Billy's son, Seth appeared in a movie that I believe was called Coming Home starring Kevin Costner. An excellent film set in the mid-1950s with a surprising ending. Sean wears a Davey Crockett outfit in one scene and a yellow one-piece shorts set at a community picnic. He played beside one of the truly great actors of the 1990's who I don't think is on your site: Joseph Mazzello.
