John Hillerman is an American actor best known for his role as former British Army Sergeant Major Jonathan Quayle Higgins III on the television series Magnum, P.I., from 1980-1988.

He won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series and a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for TV for his role in Magnum.
