    Rod Steiger (April 14, 1925 - July 9, 2002) was an American actor.

    He was born Rodney Stephen Steiger in Westhampton, New York. He ran away from home at age sixteen to join the US Navy during World War II. After the war, he returned to New Jersey and joined a drama group before studying drama full-time under Lee Strasberg and Elia Kazan at The Actor's Studio.

    Steiger appeared in over 100 motion pictures. He won the Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his portrayal of Sheriff Bill Gillespie in In the Heat of the Night (1967) opposite Sidney Poitier.
