Rudy Bond
Biography
Rudy Bond was an American actor whose career lasted from 1947 until his death in 1982 and ranged across Broadway, film, and television. Born in Philadelphia, he began performing at 16 with the Neighborhood Players and stayed with the group until a prize in the John Golden Award for Actors helped him enter Elia Kazan's Actors Studio in New York. Kazan gave him prominent roles in two stage productions, and his stage success in A Streetcar Named Desire led to an invitation to Hollywood to recreate the part in the 1951 film. Among his later film credits were On the Waterfront (1954), 12 Angry Men (1957), The Godfather (1972), The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974) and The Rose (1979). He also appeared in more than 100 television shows and in New York stage productions such as Romeo and Juliet and a 1960 tour of Fiorello.
