Early life and education
Hindle was born in Halifax.[1] For 12 years, he alternated living with his divorced parents in addition to living in foster homes.[1] He grew up in Bowmanville, and later at The Beaches area of Toronto.[2]
Career
Before he became an actor, Hindle modeled clothes in catalogs for Canadian companies Simpsons-Sears and Eaton's.[3] He was also a stockbroker.[2]
Hindle has made guest appearances in a long list of television programs in North America, and has also appeared in several movies, dating from 1971.
His first major role was in a biker movie, The Proud Rider, spawned by the popularity of Easy Rider. Hindle worked with a real motorcycle gang, Satan's Choice of Oshawa. It was during the production of this film that he almost changed his professional name to Jeremy Kane, as producers thought that Hindle should have a more obvious link to his uncle, actor Michael Kane.[4]
In 1971, he was cast as Billy Duke in the film Face-Off.[3] This film led to offers from Hollywood which he resisted until work dried up and Hindle, who had four children by this time, finally moved to Los Angeles in 1974.[citation needed]
He had a supporting role in the Canadian horror film Black Christmas[2] in 1974. He had a pivotal supporting role in the 1978 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. He then went onto playing a lead role in David Cronenberg's 1979 horror film The Brood and appeared in the 1981 teen sex comedy film Porky's as police officer Ted Jarvis. In the 1990s, he played the role of Harry Dobbs in the popular Canadian TV series, North of 60.
From the early 1990s, Hindle has also worked as a director. In 2001, he starred in, and directed episodes of, the award-winning series Paradise Falls[2] which screened on the Showcase channel in Canada and cable stations in the U.S.
