American film and television actor
Robert Cabal (April 7, 1917 – May 11, 2004) born Harold Ching or Harold Christopher McColgan [1] was an American film and television actor whose work was featured in 42 films and television series. Cabal’s career spanned 20 years from 1947 to 1967.[2]
Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, Cabal is said to be the first of Clement Hiram and Nina (née Medeiros) McColgan’s two sons. Cabal’s recorded parents were unmarried at the time of his birth and were 16 and 18 years old, respectively.[3] Cabel’s purported parents married in 1933, 16 years after his birth.[4]
However, Cabal’s mother had married William N. F. Ching on March 8, 1916.[5] Ching’s 1917 World War I US draft registration lists “a four month old infant”. The date aligns with Cabal’s birthdate.[6]
