Jeffrey Hunter

Born: 1926-11-25

Jeffrey Hunter was a versatile American actor who made a significant impact on the film and television industry. He is best known for his portrayal of Martin Pawley in the classic Western film, The Searchers. However, his talent extended beyond Westerns. He also delivered compelling performances in other notable films such as: King of Kings (1961): Hunter played the pivotal role of Jesus Christ in this epic biblical film. The Last Hurrah (1958): He starred alongside Spencer Tracy. Fourteen Hours (1955): He made his film debut in this suspenseful crime thriller. In addition to his film work, Hunter also appeared in several television shows, including Bonanza and The Virginian. Unfortunately, his career was tragically cut short in 1969 at the age of 42 due to an Intracranial hemorrhage.
