#Quote
1[on his role in From Here to Eternity (1953)] My first scene on film was where I walk into the office and report Private Prewitt absent to Sergeant Warden, played by Burt Lancaster -- and I was scared to death. Burt was one of the big stars of that era, but still very nice. Fred Zinnemann, the director, was extremely patient and understanding. And somehow I got through it. My panic has always been the time right up to the end of my first scene. Once that first shot is in the can, I'm home free.
2I was very fortunate that I get paid for what I love to do. I know a lot of good actors who simply can't find work. Every time I get a job, I say to myself, 'You've beaten the odds.'
3Between the war movies I've been in and the heavies I've played, I have about 1,000 dead behind me. I've been killed a good many times, but I took a lot of guys with me.
#Fact
1Appeared with Andy Griffith in "Onionhead: and "Matlock: The Thoroughbred".
2Appeared with Sidney Poitier in two films, "Porgy and Bess" and "The Defiant Ones".
3Claude Akins lost his bid to be elected President of the Screen Actors Guild in 1975. The winner was Kathy Nolan (The Real McCoys).
4Before acting he was a limestone salesman.
5Father Ernest was a former stonecutter who later became a policeman; his mother's name was Maude. He had an older sister named Hazel. The family moved from his native Nelson, Georgia to Bedford, Indiana when Claude was six months old.
6First performed at the age of 5 in a church play in which he played a bird.
7Trained at the Barter Theater in Abingdon, Virginia in the late 1940s and toured in such shows as "The Hasty Heart" and "The Comedy of Errors".
8Majored in speech and theater at Northwestern University.
9Made his Broadway debut in a small, uncredited role in "The Rose Tattoo" in 1951, and is not listed in ibdb.com for any roles on Broadway.
10Invested well in later years in a shopping center in the San Fernando Valley and in a 69-house development in Vista, California.
11During the 1980's and 90's Claude Akins did many television commercials as the spokesmen for AAMCO transmission, with the slogan "Double A, [honk, honk], M, C, O".
12Served as a Master Sergeant in the US Army Signal Corps during World War II.
13Played chess with his friend, William Windom.
14Those who remember him for the many villains he played, especially early in his career, might be surprised to know that his father was a police officer in Claude's home town of Bedford, Indiana.
15He has an entry in Jean Tulard's "Dictionnaire du cinéma/Les acteurs" published in Paris in 2007 by Robert Laffont/Bouquins, pg. 17 (ISBN: 978-2-221-10895-6).
16He was always very friendly to everyone and was very gracious in signing every autograph request.
17A lifelong golfer, he played in a lot of pro-am golf tournaments for various charities right up until his death, including the Vantage Championship Pro-Am at Tanglewood Park in Clemmons, North Carolina, in the early 1990s. He was a close friend and golfing partner of another golf fanatic and veteran movie heavy, Robert J. Wilke.
18Graduate of Northwestern University.
