Bixby’s legacy lives on through his iconic roles alongside Ray Walston in My Favorite Martian, as the human side of The Incredible Hulk, and in his early work on shows like The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis and The Joey Bishop Show.
He earned his first Emmy nomination for The Courtship of Eddie’s Father and left a mark as both an actor and a director.

In 1983, he focused on directing, working on projects such as Wizard and Warriors, Goodnight, Beantown, and Sledge Hammer!, proving his talent extended far beyond acting. Beyond his acting career, Bixby enjoyed Chinese cooking, playing bridge, listening to music, and gardening.
