Pat Hingle was a character actor, one of the best kind. He appeared in numerous films and television shows, but is most remembered as Commissioner Gordon in the first four of the "Batman" films. He was also John Adams in "Independence", a bartender in "The Quick and the Dead" and the narrator of "The Land Before Time". He was not as visible in films of late, his most notable role being in "Talladega Nights" in 2006. He will be missed and is a fond memory of my childhood.
