Robards decided to get into acting after the war and his career started out slowly.
He moved to New York City and found small parts — first in radio and then on the stage.
His big break was landing the starring role in José Quintero's 1956 off-Broadway-theatre production and the later 1960 television film of O ' Neill's The Iceman Cometh, portraying the philosophical salesman Hickey ; he won an Obie Award for his stage performance.
He later portrayed Hickey again in a 1985 Broadway revival also staged by Quintero, who also directed Robards in Broadway productions of O ' Neill's plays: Long Day's Journey Into Night ( 1956, as Jamie Tyrone, and 1988, as Tyrone, Sr .), Hughie ( 1964 ), A Touch of the Poet ( 1977 ) and A Moon for the Misbegotten ( 1973 ).
He repeated his role in Long Day's Journey Into Night in the 1962 film and televised his performances in A Moon for the Misbegotten ( 1975 ) and Hughie ( 1984 ).
