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.
