Actor. He received fame as an American actor of film and television. Born Aldo DaRe, he was singled-out by a Hollywood scout, who at first was interested in his brother Guido, but he seemed to have a better voice, according to his mother's story. His voice was low and raspy. At the time, he had been elected to the office of constable of the town of Crockett, California, where he lived with his family. After his screen debut in the movie "Saturday's Hero" in 1951, he became one of the leading men in Hollywood, where he was renowned for his screen presence. He received a Golden Globe nomination for his role in the 1952 romantic comedy "Pat and Mike." After making a few low-budget B-movies, he returned to Hollywood in 1964 for television roles. He also provided the voice of Sullivan the Rat in the 1982 film, "The Secret of NIMH." He worked in the majority of military films, often with the tough-guy star John Wayne. During World War II, he served in the United States Navy as a frogman and saw action on Iwo Jima and at the Battle of Okinawa. After the war, he attended Vallejo Junior College before entering the University of California at Berkeley studying political science. He was planning to go to Washington D.C to make a difference. He married three times, including his second brief marriage to actress Jeff Donnell and a third to producer, Johnna Ray. He had four children, including three with Johnna Ray, with one being Eric Da Re, who is an actor known for the television series "Twin Peaks." His last film was in 1991, "Shock Them Dead." After his career began to wane, he moved back to his beloved hometown of Crockett where he was well-known and popular. He died from the complication of pneumonia related to throat cancer at a veteran's hospital. He is considered Crockett's favorite son and at the small Crockett Museum his pictures can be seen along a wall showing his life and times.
