Phillip Edmund Pine

Despite the assertion by some sources that he was related to actor Robert Pine, he was not.

Dark-browed, shady-looking character actor known for playing serious-minded professionals and assorted menacers and mobsters, mostly on TV during the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.

Worked on Ohio and Mississippi showboats during the early 1940s.

Became interested in acting while in high school.

In both his appearances on the classic science-fiction anthology series Ai confini della realtà (1959) and The Outer Limits (1963), he played men whose identities were usurped by characters with the ability to change their faces.

[in a 1988 interview] My career has given me the chance to live out many facets of my own character. Two years ago I had the role of a judge on a crime series. While on a break, my mind wandered and I realized I had played, at one time or another, every character represented in the room--the young hood, the defense attorney, the D.A., the accused, etc. And I had found satisfaction in playing each one.
