MINI BIO:
Dark-haired, solid English stage actor who came to the screen with the wave of angry young men in the early 1960s. Adept at playing rough diamonds insensitive to other people's feelings. Bates proved very popular in the middle and late 1960s, after which he got involved in several highly uncommercial enterprises, and concentrated on the theatre until the late 1970s. Further cinema roles continued by and large to be unworthy of his talents. Oscar nomination for The Fixer. (Source: available at Amazon Quinlan's Film Stars).HONORS and AWARDS:
.Although Bates was nominated for one Oscar, he never won a competitive Academy Award.
