He was the typical Italian gangster in early films; stocky, dark and ruggedly handsome. Later he played more diverse roles as other ethnic types: Indians, Mexicans, Hindus, Arabs, etc. His winning smile, square jaw and raspy voice were his trademarks. I was unaware of his talents until recently when I saw him as a terrific villain on a "Gunsmoke" episode. Later I realized that I'd met him at a Sons of the Desert (Laurel & Hardy) convention and actually chatted with him. He'd worked with them in the film "Jitterbugs" (1943) as a gangster. He was born on April 7, 1916 (many sources say 1913 but Caruso says 1916) in Frankfort, Indiana. His family moved to Long Beach, California when he was 10 years old. He initially tried singing as a career but later turned to acting joining the famed Pasadena Playhouse, many of whose alumni were successful character actors of the 1930s-40s and 50s. His film debut was in "Johnny Apollo" (1940) as Joe the Henchman. His other film credits included: "Tall, Dark and Handsome" (1941) as Gunman; "Across the Pacific" (1942) uncredited as Taxi Driver; "Lucky Jordan" (1942) as Hired Gun; "Watch on the Rhine" (1943) with Bette Davis, as Italian Man; "The Phantom" (1943) a serial, as Count Salento; "And Now Tomorrow" (1944) as Peter Gallo; "The Story of Dr. Wassell" (1944) as Male Nurse; "Objective Burma" (1945) with Errol Flynn, as Miggleori; "Pride of the Marines" (1945) as Johnny Rivers; "Tarzan and the Leopard Woman" (1946) with Johnny Weissmuller, as Mongo; "Song of India" (1949) as Major Doraj; "Anna Lucasta" (1949) as Eddie; "The Asphalt Jungle" (1950) as Louis Ciavelli; "The Iron Mistress" (1952) as Jack Studenvant; "Blackbeard the Pirate" (1952) as Pierre La Garde; "Cattle Queen of Montana" (1954) as Natchakoa; "Hell on Frisco Bay" (1955) as Sebastian Pasmonick; "Baby Face Nelson" (1957) as Hamilton; "Escape from Zahrain" (1962) as Tahar; "Young Dillinger" (1965) as Rocco; "Zebra Force" (1976) his first lead role and "The Legend of Grizzly Adams" (1990). He was quite prolific on television doing some of his best work there. He appeared in the 1960 mini-series "Daniel Boone" as Chief Blackfish. He also appeared in made for TV movies including: "The Desperate Mission" (1971) and "The Roseann Barr Show" (1987) as General. He guest starred on numerous TV series including: "Gunsmoke"; "The Streets of San Francisco"; "Mission: Impossible"; "The F.B.I."; "The Virginian"; "It Takes A Thief"; "Green Acres"; "The Wild, Wild West" and "Hunter.".
