• Notes

  He is known as Cliff Robertson, actor, and the winner of an Academy Award as best actor in a motion picture in 1968. He began his movie career as a contract player at Columbia in the 1950s. Throughout a long acting career, Robertson mixed his acting between movies, TV and the stage, performing mainly as a character actor. “I get bored playing the same type,” he said. Robertson’s most popular performance was as the young John F. Kennedy in PT-109. Kennedy, in fact, had suggested that he be cast to play the part. Robertson also starred as the chief executive of a large U.S. corporation in Brainstorm. He also portrayed Playboy editor/publisher Hugh Hefner in Star 80. More recently, he starred in the Spider-Man films as Uncle Ben Parker.
