William Henry Mesenkop

1.88 m

Although he appeared in numerous films, he was in real-life Ray Milland's stand-in. He was given small uncredited acting parts in Milland's films, which led to his being cast in several featured parts including The Monitor in Más allá de la Tierra (1955) and as Scotty the reporter in El enigma de otro mundo (1951). One of his last performances was as a two headed alien in the La dimensión desconocida (1959) episode "Mr. Dingle, the Strong.".

Appeared as Beetle, the first person Ray Milland sees after regaining consciousness in the alcoholic ward after falling down the stairway in Días sin huella (1945). Interestingly, he was Milland's stand-in for decades.

Brother of Oscar-winning sound engineer Louis Mesenkop.
