Robert Dean Stockwell (born March 5, 1936) is a retired American actor of film and television, with a career spanning over 70 years.[1] As a child actor under contract to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, he first came to the public's attention in films such as Anchors Aweigh (1945), The Green Years (1946), Gentleman's Agreement (1947), and Kim (1950).
As a young adult, he played a lead role in the 1957 Broadway and 1959 screen adaptations of Compulsion and in 1962, Stockwell played Edmund Tyrone in the film version of Long Day's Journey into Night. He appeared in supporting roles in such films as Paris, Texas (1984), To Live and Die in L.A. (1985), Blue Velvet (1986), Beverly Hills Cop II (1987), The Player (1992), and Air Force One (1997). He earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Married to the Mob (1988).
His television roles include playing Rear Admiral Albert "Al" Calavicci in Quantum Leap (1989–1993) and Brother Cavil in the Sci Fi Channel revival of Battlestar Galactica (2004–2009).[2] Following his roles on Quantum Leap and Battlestar Galactica, Stockwell appeared at numerous science fiction conventions.
Early life
Stockwell was born in North Hollywood, California, but was raised in New York.[3] He was the younger son of Elizabeth "Betty" Stockwell[4] and Harry Stockwell, an actor and lyric baritone singer in New York productions of Carousel and Oklahoma! as well as the voice of Prince Charming in Disney's film Snow White.[5] His elder brother was television and film actor Guy Stockwell. His stepmother, Elizabeth Veronica Stockwell, was an actress, comedian, singer, and toe dancer in Burlesque and theater in Northern America and New York.[6]
Career
Child Star at MGM
Stockwell's father was appearing on Broadway in Oklahoma!, when he heard about a play,Innocent Voyage by Paul Osborne, that was looking for child actors. As a result, Stockwell's mother took their two sons down to audition. Both boys were successful. Stockwell's part was small and the play only had a short run, but it led to a contract with MGM.[7]
The studio cast Stockwell in a small role in The Valley of Decision (1945), a popular melodrama. Producer Joe Pasternak gave him a bigger part in Anchors Aweigh (1945) alongside Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly, in which Stockwell played the younger brother of Kathryn Grayson.[8]
The film was popular and MGM put him in a key role of Robert Shannon in The Green Years (1946), an orphan who grows up to be Tom Drake. It was a huge hit.[9] He also made a brief appearance in the MGM school room during the chase sequence of Abbott and Costello in Hollywood (1945).[7]
20th Century Fox borrowed him for Home, Sweet Homicide (1946) with Peggy Ann Garner where he was billed fourth. He co-starred with Wallace Beery in The Mighty McGurk (1947) at MGM, a remake of The Champ (1931) which Beery had made previously with Jackie Cooper.[10] He had the lead in a short A Really Important Person (1947).
Stockwell had supporting roles in The Arnelo Affair (1947); The Romance of Rosy Ridge (1947) (playing Janet Leigh's brother); Song of the Thin Man (1947), billed fourth as the son of William Powell and Myrna Loy. Stockwell later said, "I have very positive feelings regarding both of them, they were very sweet people, especially Myrna Loy. And that cute little dog, Asta. I liked that little dog."[7]
Nevertheless, Stockwell found the experience of being a child actor difficult overall, stating, "I didn't enjoy acting particularly, when I was young. I thought it was a lot of work. There were a few films that I enjoyed, they were comedies, they were not important films, weren't very successful, so I was always pretty much known as a serious kid. I got those kind of roles and I didn't care for them very much."[7]
Fox borrowed him again to play Gregory Peck's son in Gentleman's Agreement (1947), a film which Stockwell "didn't like doing at all, because it was so serious. In other words, when I would find out I was going to do another movie, my mother would always bring that news to me, and the first question that I would always ask was, 'Is there a crying scene in the movie?' And there almost always was."[7]
He played an orphaned runaway longing to go to sea in Deep Waters (1948). He was then borrowed by RKO Pictures to play the title role in The Boy with Green Hair (1948) directed by Joseph Losey, a notorious flop for the Dore Schary regime. Stockwell said that "during the production, I did feel that I was part of something that meant something to me, it was important."[7]
Back at Fox, he was cast as Lionel Barrymore's grandson and Richard Widmark's protégé in Down to the Sea in Ships (1949), before supporting Margaret O'Brien at MGM in The Secret Garden (1949), a box office disappointment.[11] Stockwell later described the picture as "More crying scenes! And temper tantrums! But I enjoyed very much working with Margaret, she was a very talented little actress. "[7]
In MGM's popular Stars in My Crown (1950), which he did not enjoy doing, he was billed third after Randolph Scott and Ellen Drew .[12]
Stockwell was top billed in The Happy Years, which lost a considerable amount of money for the studio, but then played the title role in Kim (1950) alongside Errol Flynn and Paul Lukas, a big commercial success.[11][13]
In 1951 he appeared in a lead role alongside Joel McCrea in a Western at Universal, Cattle Drive (1951).
Young Adult Career
Stockwell graduated from Alexander Hamilton High School, and attended the University of California for a year before dropping out. "I was unhappy and could not get along with people," he later said.[12]
Stockwell took a number of years off and resumed his acting career as an adult in 1956. He guest starred on shows such as Front Row Center, Matinee Theatre, Schlitz Playhouse, The United States Steel Hour, Climax!, Men of Annapolis, Cimarron City, General Electric Theater, and Wagon Train.
He had a support role in a Western, Gun for a Coward (1957) and the lead role in a low budget teen melodrama, The Careless Years (1957), the feature directorial debut of Arthur Hiller. It was made for Bryna Productions, the company of Kirk Douglas.[14] Stockwell signed a five-year deal with the company but this was the only film he made for them.[15]
In 1957, he starred as Judd Steiner in the Broadway adaptation of Compulsion, based on the Leopold and Loeb story.[16] He later reprised his role in the 1959 film version. He and his Compulsion co-stars Orson Welles and Bradford Dillman shared the 1959 Cannes Film Award for Best Actor.
Stockwell continued to work heavily in TV on such shows as Playhouse 90, Johnny Staccato, Buick-Electra Playhouse, and The Restless Gun.
In 1960, he played coal miner's son Paul Morel in the British film Sons and Lovers, alongside Trevor Howard and Wendy Hiller. Stockwell later called it "a very delightful film to do".[7]
He continued to work mostly in TV including episodes of Checkmate, The DuPont Show with June Allyson, Outlaws, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Joke and the Valley, Bus Stop, The Twilight Zone ("A Quality of Mercy"), Alcoa Premiere, The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, and The Dick Powell Theatre.
In 1962, he appeared in an adaptation of Eugene O'Neill's play Long Day's Journey Into Night along with Katharine Hepburn, Ralph Richardson and Jason Robards, under the direction of Sidney Lumet. Stockwell later called it "as intense and rewarding an experience as I've had."[12]
He guest starred on Combat!, The Greatest Show on Earth, The Defenders, The Eleventh Hour, Kraft Suspense Theatre, Burke's Law, and had a six-episode arc on Dr Kildare.
Stockwell had a support part in the feature Rapture (1965).
Career Break
In the mid-1960s, Stockwell dropped out of show business, becoming active in the Topanga Canyon hippie subculture as a close friend of artists George Herms and Wallace Berman, fellow child actor/"dropout" Russ Tamblyn and musician Neil Young.[17][18]
"I did some drugs and went to some love-ins," he later said. "The experience of those days provided me with a huge, panoramic view of my existence that I didn't have before. I have no regrets."[7]
Second Return to Acting
Stockwell returned to acting with a support role in Psych-Out (1968) co starring Susan Strasberg and Jack Nicholson. He guest starred on Thirty-Minute Theatre in Britain, The FBI and Bonanza, and played the lead in AIP's The Dunwich Horror (1970) with Sandra Dee.
He also had a key part in Dennis Hopper's The Last Movie (1971). In 1985 Stockwell said this film "is a great picture. It was ahead of its time then – and it still is... it will gain respect over the years. Dennis Hopper is a marvelous director."[12]
Stockwell guest starred on Mannix, The FBI (again), Night Gallery, Orson Welles' Great Mysteries and Mission: Impossible and had the lead in some TV movies, Paper Man (1971) and The Failing of Raymond (1971) as well as a support part in The Adventures of Nick Carter (1972).
Stockwell had the lead in a biker movie, The Loners (1972), the last film of Sam Katzman which Stockwell called "a mess",[7] and horror comedy The Werewolf of Washington (1973). Stockwell said the script of the latter "had a brilliant edge to it. It was satirical, political, funny, witty and wonderful" but said the director ruined it.[7]
During the mid-1970s, he designed the distinctive cover of Young's American Stars 'n Bars (1976).[17][19]
He continued to guest for TV shows such as Police Surgeon, The Streets of San Francisco, Columbo, Joe Forrester, Three for the Road, Cannon, Ellery Queen, Police Story, McCloud, Tales of the Unexpected, Greatest Heroes of the Bible, Hart to Hart, The A Team, and Simon & Simon.
He appeared in the occasional feature such as The Pacific Connection (1974), Win, Place or Steal (1974), Won Ton Ton: The Dog Who Saved Hollywood (1976), Tracks (1976) with Dennis Hopper, One Away (1976), A Killing Affair (1977), She Came to the Valley (1979), Born to Be Sold (1981), and Wrong Is Right (1982).
Stockwell and Neil Young together directed and appeared in Human Highway (1982). He starred in Alsino and the Condor, a Nicaraguan film, and To Kill a Stranger (1983). By this time Stockwell had moved to New Mexico and was depressed about the state of his career, turning to real estate to pay the bills.[7]
Comeback: Paris, Texas and David Lynch
In 1984, he appeared in Wim Wenders' critically acclaimed film Paris, Texas, and in the same year, in David Lynch's film version of Dune as Wellington Yueh. In between he appeared in Fox Mystery Theater. Stockwell later said “After Paris, Texas and Dune I think I've got a pretty good start on what amounts to a third career."[12]
The following year, he turned in a brief but significant role as attorney Bob Grimes in William Friedkin's To Live and Die in L.A.. He was also in The Legend of Billie Jean (1985), an episode of Miami Vice and Papa Was a Preacher (1986).
In 1986, Stockwell made an appearance in another Lynch production, the neo-noir thriller Blue Velvet.

Oscar Nomination
In 1988, he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as Mafia boss Tony "the Tiger" Russo in the comedy Married to the Mob. Stockwell later called it "the favorite part I've ever had in a film. I just felt that that part was just perfect for me and I had a way to approach it that I thought was just right and it turned out that way."[7]
He also had roles in Tucker: The Man and His Dream (1988) from Coppola, Smokescreen (1988), the Brazilian The Long Haul (1989), the reboot of The Twilight Zone, Buying Time (1989), and Limit Up (1989).[20]
