Edgar Latimer Hinton Jr. (March 26, 1919 â€" October 12, 1958) was an

American actor known particularly for guest-starring roles on

television westerns. He was the father of actor Darby Hinton (born

1957), who was only fourteen months old, when Ed Hinton perished in an

airplane crash on Santa Catalina Island off the California

coast.Hinton was born in Wilmington, North Carolina, the son of Edgar

Latimer Hinton II, Sr. (1868â€"1934). His father owned the Seashore

Hotel and Steel Pier, whose pier was one of the earliest for

entertaining over the ocean in Wrightsville Beach, N.C. and all of the

town's laundry businesses back then, as well as being a community

actor in Wilmington himself. In 1948, Ed Hinton was cast as Kurt Shand

in the film Harpoon. This would seem to have been his first acting

role, however the Internet Movie Data Base does indicate that he

appeared in an uncredited role as a Dartmouth College student in the

1938 film entitled Spring Madness, starring Sterling Holloway. IMDB

contends that Hinton was born on March 26, 1919, which would be

age-consistent for Spring Madness. TV Guide omits Spring Madness from

Hinton's list of screen credits and instead begins ten years later

with Harpoon.Hinton had uncredited roles in the films Samson and

Delilah (1949) and in two 1951 productions, The Red Badge of Courage

and I Was a Communist for the FBI, as agent Jim Broderick. The latter

film inspired the syndicated television series, I Led Three Lives, in

which Hinton appeared, apparently in only one episode, "Relatives"

(1955), as Special Agent Henderson. Richard Carlson starred as

informant Herbert Philbrick.In 1954, Hinton appeared in some of his

first television roles with an appearance on the CBS series Captain

Midnight, starring Richard Webb, later of the syndicated series,

Border Patrol.
