Best known as the fussy supermarket manager who was famous for saying, "Ladies, please don't squeeze the Charmin!" While Mr. Whipple always chastised his customers for squeezing the Charmin toilet paper, he himself was an habitual offender. Wilson's TV credits also included the recurring role of a local drunk on BEWITCHED for nine years.
