A distinctively "likeable" actor in my opinion.

Awww c'mon!
Too much dyin' lately!

This is sad news. I had the Honor of working with MR. Hingle in 1976-77 when I was a crew/cast member on " THE STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO" He was great to work with and the back & forth ribbing between him, & Karl Malden off set was something to stick around and watch. he was a class act and enjoyable to be around, he will be missed.

Another one of those weird coincidences. Bored over the weekend, flipping through the program schedule, I stopped on Hang Em High and watched it to the end. Pat played the Judge in that movie. Today, I find out he passed away. Sad.
