What is the name of Burgess Meredith's character in 'Time Enough at Last'?

Burgess Meredith’s character in “Time Enough at Last” is Henry Bemis.

The eighth episode of the original The Twilight Zone first aired on November 20, 1959. Bemis is a bank teller and devoted bookworm whose wife, employer, and customers constantly ridicule his love of reading. During a catastrophic explosion, he survives inside a bank vault and emerges into a devastated, apparently empty world.

The episode is based on Lynn Venable’s short story, published in the January 1953 issue of If: Worlds of Science Fiction. Its central themes include loneliness, anti-intellectualism, dependence on technology, and the danger of getting exactly what one wishes for.

Viewers sometimes remember Bemis only as “the man with the broken glasses,” but Henry Bemis is the character’s full name. The role also became one of Meredith’s signature Twilight Zone performances; he later appeared in three additional episodes, including “The Obsolete Man.”
