Great character actor. This significant fact I culled from another article:
While performing in Broadway's “JB” in 1959, Hingle was offered the title role in the film, “Elmer Gantry.” But six weeks after the play opened, Hingle fell more than 50 feet down an elevator shaft in his apartment building while trying to crawl out after the elevator stalled between floors in his apartment building.
Hingle fractured his skull, wrist, hip and most of his ribs on his left side, broke his left leg in three places and lost the little finger on his left hand. The movie role went to Burt Lancaster, who won a best actor Oscar.
Probably his most memorable role was as the judge in Hang'em High.
