Arthur Hill (1922- )

Arthur Hill was born August 1, 1922 in Melfort, Saskatchewan, Canada.

In his youth Hill attended the University of British Columbia and fine-tuned his acting studies in Seattle.

In 1948 a 26 year old Arthur Hill went to England to practice his acting upon the British Stage, acting for several different companies. Hill also obtained several small British film roles during his theatre career.

In the 1950's, however, Hill made his way to Broadway where he impressed the critics; winning both a New York and Tony award for Best Actor (Dramatic) for his performance as George in the production of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" (1962).

After his successful performance he began to land film roles. Typically Arthur Hill was cast as the aged, mild-mannered business professional, but occasionally he got to play a villain. His role in his own series, "Owen Marshall: Counselor at Law" (1971) earned Arthur Hill star status.
