| Actor, born in New York City, USA. He studied at Columbia University, and made his film debut in 1953 while still a student. After several early films, such as Friendly Persuasion (1956), he achieved international fame as the maniacal Norman Bates in Hitchcock's Psycho (1960), with its three sequels (1983, 1986, 1990). Although he played many other parts on stage and screen, this role was the peak of his career. |
