Creator / Pat Hingle

Martin Patterson Hingle (July 19, 1924 – January 3, 2009), better known as Pat Hingle, was an American actor.

A very prolific character actor with numerous film and television credits to his name, he was perhaps best known for playing Commissioner Jim Gordon in the 1989–97 Batman film series (one of only two actors who remained in their role throughout those films along with Michael Gough as Alfred Pennyworth, when said film series otherwise ran on The Other Darrin).

Hingle was married twice – to Alyce Faye Dorsey from 1947–72 and to Julie Wright from 1979 to his death – and had five children. He died in 2009 at the age of 84 from myelodysphasia.
