A beloved star of the ’60s was spotted out and about in a rare appearance in Los Angeles.
Bill Mumy, 71, who rose to stardom as a child actor in the role of Will Robinson on Lost in Space, was spotted by the Daily Mail running errands. Wearing a navy blue T-shirt and jeans, the former child star, who made appearances on shows like Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie, sported a beard, shaggy hair, and sunglasses as he hoisted a bag of garbage over his head.

However, it was Mumy’s role as Will Robinson in Lost in Space that earned him significant notoriety. He portrayed the role from 1965 to 1968, but also appeared in a couple of episodes of the 2018 Netflix remake of the series.
These days, the actor, musician, and father of two is still very active in Hollywood and has released a variety of albums of his own.
