Aldo Ray, born Aldo DaRe (September 25, 1926 – March 27, 1991) was an 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, 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.

He died in Martinez, California of throat cancer. Ray was an Italian American.[citation needed]
