Holbrook, [Harold Rowe Jr.] Hal (b. 1925), actor. A native of Cleveland, he made his professional debut in 1942 and later assumed leading roles in such important Broadway offerings as the 1964 revival of Marco Millions; After the Fall (1964), in which he alternated with Jason Robards; and I Never Sang for My Father (1968). But Holbrook is recalled primarily for his superb one‐man show, Mark Twain Tonight!, which he first performed in 1955 and afterwards toured with for many seasons, returning for a Manhattan reprise as late as 1977. His later New York productions include The Country Girl (1984), as King Lear (1990), and in An American Daughter (1997).
