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 Facts
One of only two actors to appear in all of the first four Batman movies. The other was actor Michael Gough who played Alfred.

Diagnosed in November 2006 with a blood disorder, myelodysplasia. He died over two years later.

Studying acting with Uta Hagen at the Herbert Berghof Studios, he later was a strong disciple of the Actors Studio in New York. It was Elia Kazan, who gave Hingle his big screen break by casting him in the unbilled role of a bartender in On the Waterfront (1954). Later he played Warren Beatty's browbeating father in Kazan's Splendor in the Grass (1961). Kazan also cast him as the original Goober on Broadway in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof".
