Anthony James (born July 22, 1942 in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina), is an American actor. Lanky, often greasy-haired and with an oily grin, James specialised in creepy, sleazy villains in films and TV, many of them Westerns. His first major role, and probably his best known, was as Ralph, the diner counterman in the 1967 Oscar-winning movie In the Heat of the Night. He continued working regularly until Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven (1992), when he retired from acting.
