Born Aldo DaRe. A leading man of Hollywood and some European films with a husky frame, thick neck, and raspy voice, he specialized in playing brawny but lovable tough guys.

Ray debuted onscreen in the small role of a cynical football player in Saturday's_Hero (1951), going on to frequently portray American rednecks and military men. His career went downhill rapidly in the '70s -- he made a string of low-budget films as a beefy character actor. His last film was Shock 'Em Dead (1990). Briefly married to actress Jeff_Donnell, Ray is the father of actor Eric DaRe, best known as the character Leo in the TV series Twin Peaks. Rovi
