An American character actor born in Toledo, Ohio, Philip Baker Hall was a revered late-blooming talent prized by leading directors. He gave a tour-de-force solo turn as Richard Nixon in Robert Altman's 'Secret Honor' (1984) and became a fixture of Paul Thomas Anderson's cinema in 'Hard Eight' (1996), 'Boogie Nights' (1997) and 'Magnolia' (1999). Familiar too from 'Zodiac' (2007), 'Rush Hour' (1998) and a classic 'Seinfeld' library-cop cameo, he brought weathered gravity and hangdog soul to every part. A masterful supporting actor, he worked until his death in 2022.
