Robert Ginty Movies
A Yale man, American actor
Robert Ginty was of the
Sid Haig /
Harry Dean Stanton /
Charles Napier school of film performing. Whether good guy or bad, Ginty's acting style was sullen and laconic, as if he held some appalling secret that it was best the world not know. He specialized in low-budget films, where his expertise shone all the more in his many performance as drifters, loners, and troubled war vets. Ginty has also directed from time to time, though no festival awards have been garnered by The Bounty Hunter (1989) and
Vietnam, Texas (1990). Among
Robert Ginty's TV series credits are
Black Sheep Squadron (1976),
The Paper Chase (1979), and
Hawaiian Heat (1984) (a rare "establishment" role as a cop). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
