David Schramm, Biggins on ‘Wings,’ dies at 73

David Schramm was quite simply a fantastic actor. His timing was never less than perfect, his professionalism was always on display. He was kind. It was an honor and a pleasure to have been able to work with him. We are so grateful for the show’s fans and for their kindness.

So sad to hear of the passing of David Schramm, who played Roy Biggins on Wings, my 1st TV writing job. Wonderful actor & sweet man. When I told him we were pregnant w our 1st, he said, “If it’s a girl you should name her Hannah.” It sounded so beautiful in his voice, we did!

I just read that David Schramm, a wonderfully talented actor & kind-hearted man passed away.

I mostly knew him from Wings but have been told by others what a talented stage actor he was too.

Not sure if any of his friends or family will see this, but my heart is with you all. pic.twitter.com/I81WGiTfuV
