Born Louis Morelli
Occupation Film actor

Born Louis Morelli, Trax Colton was a brief contract player for studio 20th Century Fox in the early 1960s.

Fox hoped to capitalize on his Rock Hudson-type sex appeal and cast him in two big movies opposite big stars, The Marriage-Go-Round (1960) opposite Susan Hayward and James Mason, and It Happened In Athens (1962) starring Jayne Mansfield. Mansfield and Colton had a brief love affair during their filming time together. Before being discovered, Colton was a used car salesman. Fox's plans to make Colton a heartthrob never panned out and he left the industry.
