MINI BIO:
Thickly-set, light-haired American actor with natural scowl. A former construction worker, he enrolled at the Actors' Studio and broke into the theatre in 1950, TV and films in 1954. At first cast as surly, edgy types - apart from a role as one of the "eight new stars" in Fox's No Down Payment - he took increasingly sympathetic, if still grouchy parts later in his life, while still never quite finding his niche in the cinema.

Pat Hingle Quotes:
Judge Adam Fenton: [hands Cooper a cup of coffee] Here, if that hangin' rope didn't kill ya, maybe my coffee will.
Judge Adam Fenton: You think I judged him too harshly? Used him for kindling my fire of justice? Well, maybe that's inevitable when there's only one man, one court, with the power of final justice over a territory that's five times the size of most states. Mistakes? Oh, I've made 'em, Cooper. Don't you doubt about that. Don't you doubt, either, there are times sitting up there in that judgement seat I wished, I prayed, that there was someone standing between me and God Almighty - someone with the power to say, "You're wrong, Fenton. You've made an error in law - that this man deserves another trial, this man here a reprieve, this man is innocent." But until this territory becomes a state with a governor and a state court of appeals, I am the law here - all the law. If you don't like that, you can cuss me till hell freezes over... or you can join me, Cooper; even fight me. Help me turn this God forsaken territory into a state where no one man calls himself the law.
