Robert Emhardt (July 24, 1913 – December 26, 1994) was an American character actor who worked on stage, in film and on television.[1] The portly Emhardt was typically cast as a villain, often crooked businessmen or corrupt politicians.
Career
Emhardt studied acting at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London.[2] He began his Broadway career in the 1930s as an understudy for the equally heavyset Sydney Greenstreet. Emhardt made his stage debut in The Pirate (1942).[1][3] One of the founding members of the Actors Studio,[4] Emhardt was a member of the cast of the original 1952 Broadway stage production of The Seven Year Itch. He won the Critics Circle Award for best supporting actor for his performance in Life with Mother in the 1948-1949 season.[1]
His notable film appearances include 3:10 to Yuma (1957) and Underworld U.S.A. (1961).
On television, he was a regular on Another World, as Mackenzie Cory, and The Kids From C.A.P.E.R., as Sergeant Vinton. He also made over 250 guest appearances on such series as Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Riverboat, The Tall Man, The Twilight Zone, GE True, Stoney Burke, Going My Way, The Untouchables, Perry Mason, The Naked City, My Three Sons, The Andy Griffith Show, Gunsmoke, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Adam-12, The Brady Bunch, Cannon, Kojak, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and Quincy, M.E..
Personal life
He was married first to actress Martha Jones (later married name Martha Rofheart) in 1943,[5][6] with whom he appeared on Broadway in both Harriet and The Pirate. After the dissolution of the marriage, he married actress Silvia Sideli in 1954, with whom he had a son named Christopher and a daughter named Mia.
