Career
Hindle has made guest appearances in a long list of television programs in North America, and has also appeared in several movies, dating from 1971.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
His first major role was in a biker movie, The Proud Rider, spawned by the popularity of Easy Rider. Hindle worked with a real motorcycle gang, Satan's Choice of Oshawa. It was during the production of this film that he almost changed his professional name to Jeremy Kane, as producers thought that Hindle should have a more obvious link to his uncle, actor Michael Kane.[3]
In 1971, he was cast as Billy Duke in the film Face-Off.[5] This film led to offers from Hollywood which he resisted until work dried up and Hindle, who had four children by this time, finally moved to Los Angeles in 1974.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
