Hollywood acting legend Hal Holbrook has passed away.<\/p>\n
A regular name on the Emmy stage, Hal Holbrook’s long and distiguished career is marked by a catalogue of amazing films, and equally amazing performances. Debuting on film in Sidney Lumet’s The Group (1966), it would be a breakout role in 1976’s All The President’s Men<\/em>, as legendary informant Deep Throat, that cemented his early career. A regular supporting actor in films such as Magnum Force<\/em> (1973), Capricorn One<\/em> (1977), John Carpenter’s The Fog<\/em> (1980), Wall Street<\/em> (1987) and The Firm<\/em> (1993), Holbrook became “that guy” you spotted on screen without always being able to put a name to him.<\/p>\n Among his post-millennial roles, Holbrook had credits in Waking The Dead<\/em> (2000), Frank Darabont’s The Majestic<\/em> (2001), Water For Elephants<\/em> (2011) and Spielberg’s 2012 biopic Lincoln<\/em>, but it was his Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for 2007’s Into The Wild, <\/em>directed by Sean Penn and co-starring Emilie Hirsch, Marcia Gay Harden, Catherine Keener, Kristen Stewart and Vince Vaughan (amongst others in a stellar cast) that garnered him the most attention.<\/p>\n His television credits earned him innumerable Emmy Award nominations, as well as a multitude of wins for projects as diverse as The Bold Ones<\/em> (1971), Pueblo<\/em> (1974), and Portrait of America<\/em> (1988).<\/p>\n Hal Holbrook passed away on January 23rd, aged 95.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hollywood acting legend Hal Holbrook has passed away.
