William Michael "Hoot" Hootkins (July 5, 1948 – October 23, 2005) was an American character actor, best known for supporting roles in Hollywood blockbusters such as Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Batman.
Hootkins was born in Dallas, Texas. At the age of 15, Hootkins found himself caught up in the FBI's investigation into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy when he was interviewed about Mrs. Ruth Paine, the woman "harboring" Marina Oswald, the Russian wife of the presumed assassin Lee Harvey Oswald. He had been studying Russian with Paine at his school, St. Mark's in Dallas, where he also developed his taste for theatre, joining the same drama group as Tommy Lee Jones. Hootkins would later say that, since Jones was better looking and got all the best parts, "I supported from then on in."
Hootkins attended Princeton University, studying astrophysics before transferring to oriental studies, where he became fluent in Mandarin Chinese. He was a mainstay of the Theatre Intime, making a particular impact with his performance in Orson Welles' Moby Dick—Rehearsed. On the recommendation of his friend John Lithgow, he moved to London in the early 1970s and trained as an actor at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA). He made his home in London until 2002, when he moved to Los Angeles.
Linc, played by William Hootkins, is a very creepy guy in this movie. His song alone is worth tracking this movie down. Sorry for the quality; I used my VCR/DVD recorder and ripped this from VHS to DVD, then used a low end laptop to rip this scene from the DVD to an AVI file. Hardware is owned by Palace Pictures and possibly British Screen Productions and British Satellite Broadcasting, I'm not real sure; but my point is that I obviously don't own the rights to this neat film. If you like this clip, by all means track down a legit copy.
