MINI BIO:
American supporting actor who became one of Hollywood's few really distinctive character players in the post-1960 era, often in menacing or bigoted roles. A frustrated writer, the 6 foot 3 inch Armstrong turned to acting in 1952, when he enrolled at The Actors' Studio. Entering mainline Hollywood films in 1958, he soon became a man in demand, especially for portraits of midwest rednecks and religious fanatics. The initials stood for Robert Golden.

R.G. Armstrong Quotes:
Steve Judd:
[Meeting Joshua Knudsen when they arrive at his farmstead] We're on our way to Coarse Gold. Wondered if you could furnish accommodations for the night?
Joshua Knudsen: Well, I've got no room in the house. But I've no objection if you want to spend the night in the barn.
Steve Judd: Thank you, sir. If you could spare us a few eggs, we'd be glad to pay for them.
Joshua Knudsen: Well, you can have one, because the Lord's bounty is not for sale... The rest are a dollar each.
Heck Longtree: [Outraged at the price] A dollar each! Now how in the world do those short-legged chickens lay eggs so high?
Joshua Knudsen: [Dourly] Levity in the young is likened to a dry gourd, with the seeds rattling around.
Rev. Dahlstrom: [after disarming a French soldier during a raid on their camp] Mighty is the arm of the Lord!
