Biography

Rudolph Bond (October 10, 1912 – March 29, 1982) was an American actor who was active from 1947 until his death. His work spanned Broadway, Hollywood and US television.

Bond was introduced to the world of acting at the age of 16. He was playing basketball with a group of friends when Julie Sutton, the director of a city amateur acting group (Neighborhood Players, which performed in the same building as the basketball area) approached the group and asked if anybody wanted to be in an upcoming play. He volunteered, and acted in several plays before leaving Philadelphia to join the United States Army. He spent four years in the army, was wounded while serving in World War II, and returned to Philadelphia upon his discharge.

He continued acting in the Neighborhood Players until 1945, when he won second prize in the John Golden Award for Actors, which allowed him to enroll in Elia Kazan's Actor's Studio in New York City. Kazan got him a substantial role in two stage productions. After his success in the second (A Streetcar Named Desire), he was invited to Hollywood to recreate his stage role in the movie version. In 1951 he appeared in "Romeo and Juliet" at the Broadhurst Theatre in New York and in 1960 he toured in "Fiorello" (which starred Tom Bosley). He spent the next thirty years bouncing between California and New York, and between movie and television work.

Biography

Rudy Bond (* 1. Oktober 1912 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; † 29. März 1982 in Denver, Colorado) war ein US-amerikanischer Schauspieler.

Seine Schauspielkarriere begann Rudy Bond beim Neighborhood Playhouse in New York City. Bei einem Talentwettbewerb gewann er einen Platz am renommierten Actors Studio von Lee Strasberg, wo er neben späteren Filmgrößen wie Marlon Brando, Paul Newman oder James Dean studierte. Am Actors Studio unterrichtete auch der Broadway-Regisseur Elia Kazan, der Bond in substanziellen Nebenrollen in zwei seiner Stücke besetzte. Eines davon war Endstation Sehnsucht, in welchem Bond die Rolle des gewalttätigen Nachbarn Steve Hubbel spielte. Diese Rolle verkörperte er auch in Kazans gleichnamiger Verfilmung im Jahr 1951. 1956 trat er nochmals in Endstation Sehnsucht am Broadway auf, diesmal aber in der Rolle des Mitch.

In den folgenden Jahrzehnten pendelte Bond zwischen Theater-, Fernseh- und Filmengagements in New York und Hollywood. Häufig spielte er raue und ungeschliffene Figuren, oftmals Arbeiter. Im Filmgeschäft wurde Bond zwar nie zum Star, spielte aber kleinere Nebenrollen in einigen bedeutenden Filmklassikern. In Die Faust im Nacken (1954) spielte er einen Hafenarbeiter namens Moose, am Filmanfang von Die zwölf Geschworenen (1957) war er als gelangweilt wirkender Richter zu sehen, in Der Pate (1972) verkörperte er den Mafiaboss Don Carmine Cuneo, und in Stoppt die Todesfahrt der U-Bahn 123 (1974) spielte er den Polizeipräsidenten.
