Life

Kincaid was born Norman Neale Williams II in Hollywood and grew up in Southern California . His father was a second lieutenant in the US Army Air Force and was killed in combat during World War II ; his plane was shot down. As a child, Kincaid devoted himself to painting , especially oil painting . A portrait of actress Viveca Lindfors , which he painted when he was ten, was sold by his mother for $ 100 in an art supply store.

His mother remarried and moved to Oakland , where Kincaid graduated from high school. After graduating from high school, Kincaid enrolled at the University of California, Los Angeles . There he graduated in 1962 with a bachelor's degree in cinematography ( Cinematography ).

He had his first film role in 1959, directed by Roger Corman , in the horror film The Wasp Woman ; there he played a beekeeper at the beginning of the film . After he was discovered by a theater agent in a Los Angeles stage performance, he was signed to Universal Pictures . He had a tiny supporting role as the standard bearer of Crassus in the monumental film Spartacus . Universal then cast Kincaid from 1961 in the television series Bachelor Father ; he was the young attorney Wesley Dawson, who joins the firm of Hollywood attorney Gregg Bentley (played by John Forsythe ) as a junior partner and falls in love with his niece Kelly ( Noreen Corcoran ).

In 1963 he joined the United States Coast Guard Reserve ; there he served a total of eight years. After completing his basic training, he resumed his career as a film actor. Because of his good looks, he mostly got the role of the young, carefree lover who, with blond hair and beach clothes , embodied the type of surfer and beach boy. He starred in the beach comedies The Girls on the Beach (1965) and Beach Ball (1965). He took a guest role in the agent parody Dr. Goldfoot and his bikini machine (1965) and played the young Bobby at the side of Nancy Sinatra in the horror comedy The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini (1966). In the comedy Ski Party (1965), Kincaid played the attractive skier and ski instructor Freddie Carter and thus transferred his screen image to the field of winter sports . Kincaid had other film roles in the horror film Creature of Destruction (1967) and in the Disney musical The Happiest Millionaire (1967).

In 1972 Kincaid left Hollywood, moved to San Francisco and worked as a photo model , especially for fashion magazines, in the 1970s and 1980s . However, he continued to take on film and television roles, including on the side of John Saxon in the science fiction film Planet Earth (1974) and in the action comedy Cannonball (1976). He made a cameo in 1984 in the slasher film Silent Night, Horror Night .

From the mid-1980s, Kincaid worked intensively as a voice actor . He lent his voice to characters in the cartoons and animated films The Smurfs and DuckTales - News from Duckburg, among others . He was best known for his synchronization of the roles as Killer Croc in Batman and Sky Lynx in The Transformers .
