Biography

Al Mulock was born on June 30, 1925 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He was an actor, known for The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966), Pickup Alley (1957) and The Hellbenders (1967). He was married to Catherine Ellison and Steffi Henderson. He died in May 1968 in Guadix, Spain.

He committed suicide on the set of his last movie Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) by jumping from a hotel, on location in Guadix, Spain. One of the film's screenwriters Mickey Knox and production manager Claudio Mancini were in a hotel room when they saw his body pass their window. Mancini put Mulock in his car to drive him to the hospital. Knox claimed in an interview that before that, director Sergio Leone said to Mancini "get the costume, we need the costume". Mulock was wearing the costume he wore in the movie when he jumped.

His face is the first thing you see after the opening credits of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966).

After attending the Lee Strasberg Actors Studio, he later (with David de Keyser) started "The London Studio" which taught "The Method" to British actors.

He was the great-grandson of Sir William Mulock (1843-1944).
