Lugar y fecha de nacimiento. Pat Hingle (1923 - ) Actor Born: July 19, 1923, Denver, CO Education: University of Texas; American Theatre Wing, NY, HB Studio, NY; Actors Studio, NY Sturdily built performer with a large square head and a rustic voice who has been a solid character player on stage, screen and TV for over four decades. Hingle began acting as a student at the University of Texas and made the move to NYC in the late 1940s. There he studied at the American Theater Wing and became a protégé of director Elia Kazan and the Actors Studio. Hingle was soon working regularly on the NY stage and quickly segued to films and early TV dramas. He made his feature acting debut with a small part in Kazan's ON THE WATERFRONT (1954) and shone in a breakthrough supporting role in the director's ESPLENDOR EN LA HIEDRA (1961) as the brusque father of Warren Beatty. Much of Hingle's film and TV career would be spent playing ambiguous fathers, sympathetic community leaders, veteran cops, crafty judges and other law enforcement personnel. Younger audiences may know him best as Police Commissioner Gordon in the feature BATMAN (1989) series. Hingle was also the conflicted police chief father of a catatonic rapist in Clint Eastwood's IMPACTO FULMINANTE (1983). Hingle was just as comfortable in the Old West as he was in tough contemporary urban environments. He unjustly sentenced Eastwood to death in LA MARCA DE LA HORCA (1968) and strode the prairie in such oaters as NEVADA SMITH (1966) and INVITATION TO A GUNFIGHTER (1964). Hingle leant some iconic authority to his small role as a bartender in Sam Raimi's Western RAPIDA Y MORTAL (1995). Hingle continued to work in TV in guest shots, miniseries, telefilms and the occasional brief stints as a series regular.
