Art Hindle

Arthur Hindle (born July 21, 1948) is a Canadian actor and director.

Early life and education

Hindle was born in Halifax to a Navy family. His family moved back to Ontario while he was a child. He grew up in Bowmanville, and later at the Beaches area of Toronto, attending Riverdale Collegiate and Malvern Collegiate.

At the Eli Rill workshop, Hindle studied Method. He thrived in this environment and soon started applying his knowledge to getting acting jobs. Further inspiration for becoming an actor was his uncle, Michael Kane, with whom Art finally had the opportunity to work in the film The Gunfighters.

Career

Hindle has made guest appearances in a long list of television programs in North America, and has also appeared in several movies, dating from 1971. His first major role was in a biker movie, The Proud Rider, spawned by the popularity of Easy Rider. Hindle worked with a real motorcycle gang, Satan's Choice of Oshawa. It was during the making of this that Art almost changed his professional name to Jeremy Kane. The producers thought that Hindle should have a more showbiz-sounding name. He chose Jeremy Kane (Kane in honor of his uncle), and even though he reverted to his birth name due to urging from his uncle, his "Jeremy Kane" pseudonym is still connected to the film.
