 Dwight Schultz mini-bio: William Dwight Schultz (born November 24, 1947 in Baltimore, Maryland) is an American stage, television and film actor who uses the stage name Dwight Schultz. He is best known for his roles as Captain "Howling Mad" Murdock on the hit 1980s action show The A-Team, and Reginald Barclay in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Personal life Schultz is a graduate of Calvert Hall College near Baltimore, Maryland. He married former actress Wendy Fulton (Bare Essence) in 1983 and has a daughter named Ava. Career Schultz' breakthrough role was the mentally-unstable Captain "Howling Mad" Murdock on The A-Team. At the series outset, the producers felt that his character would be too over-the-top for viewers and planned to drop him after his debut, but early test screenings showed that he was popular with the audience. As a result, he was effectively "written back in" to the series. Schultz has also appeared in films including The Fan (1981), as Broadway actress Lauren Bacall's director, and Fat Man and Little Boy (1989), as J. Robert Oppenheimer. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, he had a recurring role as Lieutenant Reginald Barclay in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Schultz reprised the role for Star Trek: Voyager and the film Star Trek: First Contact. Schultz's "Barclay" character is considered one of the most memorable of all the Star Trek personalities because of Barclay's imperfections and human foibles. Schultz is also known for his voice talent. His voice credits include numerous video games and cartoons.
