The actor was Raymond Burr. The idea that he had been crippled stemmed from his role as 'Ironside', who was shot in the first five minutes of the first episode and became a wheelchair-bound detective. For some reason, many people at the time the 'Ironside' series started believed Burr had been injured and couldn't walk, possibly because it was hard for some to accept that an able bodied man would elect to play a cripple. Burr did suffer from health problems during the last few years of his life, but he was never "confined to a wheelchair in real life."

The link below will take you to Burr's biography, if you want to look at it to see the facts. There's no mention of the urban myth about him having been crippled, but if he had been injured that badly it would definitely be in the biography.

Raymond Burr was Perry Mason and he did you a wheel chair later in personal life but not as Old Ironside, which he portrayed a wheel chaired investigator.

That was Raymond Burr. Yes, he was in a wheelchair for real, later in his later years. You know, he was also in the first Godzilla movie. Hilarious!
