Character Actor Pat Hingle, 84
"He wasn't a household name, but his solid, broad, hang-dog screen face became a household image." In addition to considerable theater and television work, Hingle played crucial roles in films from On the Waterfront and Splendor in the Grass to Norma Rae and The Grifters; he was best known as Commissioner Gordon in the first four Batman films.
