Lugar y fecha de nacimiento. Andrew Robinson (1942 - ) Actor Born: February 14, 1942, New York, NY Education: LAMDA, London, England (theater) Stage-trained character player of film and TV remains best known for one of his earliest feature roles: a hissable portrayal of the crazed hippie serial killer Scorpio in Don Siegel genre landmark, HARRY EL SUCIO (1971). With his sharp nose, full lips, and small beady eyes that conveyed an incredible capacity for cruelty, Robinson crafted a villain so irredeemably bad that his mere existence justified the extreme techniques employed by Clint Eastwood iconic tough cop. This role set the unpleasant tone for his more memorable subsequent feature roles: as an unsavory lout who gets clobbered in Siegel's CHARLEY VARRICK (1973); in a rare lead as an unlucky householder and brother of a reconstituted monster in the attic in Clive Barker HELLRAISER 1: EL PACTO (1987); and as a sadistic military school barber in CHUCKY EL MUÑECO DIABOLICO 3 (1991). In between, he often played cops and doctors in films including MASCARA (1985), COBRA (1986), and SHOOT TO KILL (1988). Robinson works regularly in TV, perhaps making his strongest impression with a sympathetic portrait of Liberace (ABC, 1988) in the estate approved biopic. His other small screen movie credits include The Atlanta Child Murders (CBS, 1985) and The Rock Hudson Story (ABC, 1990). Playing against type, Robinson portrayed JFK in a time travel episode of the revival of The Twilight Zone (CBS, 1986) and did guest shots for the likes of Cagney & Lacey, Moonlighting y Matlock. Robinson was awarded Best Actor by the LA Drama Critics for his performance in In the Belly of the Beast, a play by convicted killer-cum-writer Jack Henry Abbott.
