Aldo Ray, born Aldo DaRe (September 25, 1926 - March 27, 1991) was an Italian-American film actor. He was born in Pen Argyl, Pennsylvania. He served in the U.S. Navy from 1944 to 1946 as a frogman on an underwater demolition team, and saw action at Okinawa. Ray also studied at the University of California at Berkeley.
Ray was known early in his career from his appearance with Humphrey Bogart and Peter Ustinov as three escapees from the French penal colony in the 1955 film comedy We're No Angels. This film part contrasted with many of Ray's later roles as a mean tough guy.
Aldo Ray was married and divorced three times (Shirley Green, Jean Marie Donnell, and Johanna Bennet) and is the father of three children, including film actor Eric DeRe.
He died in Martinez, California of cancer.
