Neil Hamilton (1899-1984) had a long film and television career, including playing Harry Holt in the first two of MGM’s Tarzan films with Johnny Weissmuller, but will be remembered as Commissioner Gordon from the 1960s Batman series.
Oscar-winner Cliff Robertson (1923-2011) made a couple of uncredited film appearances in his teens, and then began working regularly on television in the fifties. He made his credited feature film debut in Picnic, and soon was starring in films like Days of Wine and Roses, Gidget (as the Big Kahuna), 633 Squadron, and as a young naval officer in PT-109 (his character’s name: John F. Kennedy). World War 2 buffs will find it interesting that he has prominent roles in both Battle of the Coral Sea, and years later, Midway. Robertson won Best Actor for starring in the 1968 film Charly, adapted from Daniel Keyes’s Flowers for Algernon.

Robertson continued as a major film star into the mid-seventies. He also did an increasing amount of TV work, such as the 1977 miniseries Washington: Behind Closed Doors, and season 3 of Falcon Crest. His final major film role was as Ben Parker in Spider-Man (he also appeared in flashbacks in the two sequels).
