"Luck is just when preparedness meets opportunity"
..... Roman philosopher and orator Seneca (55 BC-39 AD)
"Without sounding smug, I've always felt that you
have to be well prepared when old man opportunity comes knocking. I always
wanted to be an actor, and so I did everything possible to prepare myself
for my career."
..... Jeffrey Hunter
"Be natural, sincere and honest on and off screen
and stage or radio. A good acting job must come from the mind and heart."
... Advice for aspiring actors.
..... Jeffrey Hunter
"He was the finest, most decent man I've ever
known."
..... Longtime friend Lee Riordan
"Despite his looks and talent, there was nothing of
the snob about Hank. His voice was quiet and gentle and his manners came
right out of the Civil War South."
..... Friend Don Kreger
Welcome!
Jeffrey Hunter, born Hank McKinnies, was a fine actor.
His career spanned a wide range of roles: from a college frat-boy in Take
Care of My Little Girl to a cavalry officer with a conscience in Custer of
the West; from a brilliant scientist who drives himself insane in
Brainstorm to a high-tech spy in Dimension 5; from a dashing
prince of Baghdad in Princess of the Nile to real-life World War II
heroes, in Hell to Eternity and The Longest Day, as well
as fictional heroes, in Sailor of the King and In Love and War;
from cowboys in the Old West - in Gun for a Coward and several other films - to Indian warriors in
White Feather and Seven Cities of Gold.
He acted opposite some of the greatest screen actors of his day, including
John Wayne (in The Searchers) and Spencer Tracy (in The Last
Hurrah). He also performed in many 1950's radio dramas and made
numerous appearances on television series, especially during the 1960's -
including a role as a serial killer (!) on the very first episode of the
popular series The FBI. He also starred as a frontier lawyer in
his own series, Temple Houston, on NBC-TV during the 1963-64
season. Perhaps his most unforgettable role was as Jesus Christ in the film
King of Kings, though many fans first discovered
Jeffrey Hunter as the iconic first captain of the starship USS Enterprise -
Christopher Pike, in the early days of Star Trek.
This website is dedicated with love and gratitude to
Jeffrey Hunter, whose work as an actor, and whose untimely death in 1969,
touched the lives of so many.
