Early life and career

Hinton was born in Wilmington, North Carolina, the son of Edgar Latimer Hinton II, Sr. (1868–1934), the owner of the Seashore Hotel with one of the first steel piers for entertaining over the ocean in Wrightsville N.C. and the town's only laundry businesses as well as being a community actor in Wilmington. In 1948, Hinton was cast as Kurt Shand in the film Harpoon. This would seem to have been his first acting role. However, the Internet Movie Data Base indicates that he appeared in an uncredited role as a Dartmouth College student in the 1938 film entitled Spring Madness, starring Sterling Holloway. IMDB contends that Hinton was born on March 26, 1919, which would be age-consistent for Spring Madness. TV Guide omits Spring Madness from Hinton's list of screen credits and instead begins ten years later with Harpoon.

Hinton had uncredited roles in the films Samson and Delilah (1949) and in two 1951 productions, The Red Badge of Courage and I Was a Communist for the FBI, as agent Jim Broderick. The latter film inspired the syndicated television series, I Led Three Lives, in which Hinton appeared, apparently in only one episode, "Relatives" (1955), as Special Agent Henderson. Richard Carlson starred as informant Herbert Philbrick.

In 1954, Hinton appeared in some of his first television roles with an appearance on the CBS series Captain Midnight, starring Richard Webb, later of the syndicated series, Border Patrol.
