Posted at September 27, 2013, 11:11 am: I'd been meaning to make this post for days but never got around to it, but longtime character actor Barnard Hughes died this past week. Hughes was a familiar face in television and movies since the 1950s. He'd been a professional stage actor since the 1930s, starting in New York's Shakespeare Fellowship Repertory Company. He won the Tony and Drama Desk Awards as Best Actor for his work in Da in the late '70s. He played dozens of roles in his legendary theatre career. He appeared on all sorts of television in the '50s and '60s, including a regular six-year stint on the daytime soap "The Guiding Light". Later in his TV career he won an Emmy as a guest star on the dramatic series "Lou Grant". He starred in the short lived "Mr. Merlin" in the 1981 season. His first major impact on the big screen was in Midnight Cowboy (1969) as a conflicted masochistic John who gives Voight's Joe Buck a St. Christopher's medal and the bus fare for Florida. The best role of his film career came a few years later in Paddy Chayefsky's The Hospital (1971) as a murderous doctor who can't stand the insanity of the system anymore. Barnard didn't get too many more plum roles in movies, though he worked constantly (in all three mediums). He was in projects as diverse as Hamlet (1964), Where's Poppa? (1970), Oh, God (1977), Tron (1982), The Lost Boys (1987), Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit (1993) and Cradle Will Rock (1999) in films, "Route 66", "All in the Family", "Hawaii Five-O", "The Bob Newhart Show", "The Love Boat", "Blossom" and "Homicide: Life on the Street" on television and Hamlet, Advise & Consent, Uncle Vanya, The Iceman Cometh and Prelude to a Kiss on the Broadway stage. He did it all. Barnard Hughes died on July 11th after a brief illness, five days short of his 91st birthday.
