Aldo Ray (born Aldo Da Re; September 25, 1926 – March 27, 1991) was an American actor of film and television. He began his career as a contract player for Columbia Pictures before achieving stardom through his roles in ''The Marrying Kind, Pat and Mike'' (which earned him a Golden Globe nomination), ''Let's Do It Again,'' and ''Battle Cry.'' His athletic build and gruff, raspy voice saw him frequently typecast in "tough guy" roles throughout his career, which lasted well into the late 1980s. Though the latter part of his career was marked by appearances in low-budget B-movies and exploitation films, he still appeared occasionally in higher-profile features, including ''The Secret of NIMH'' (1982) and ''The Sicilian'' (1987).
In 1980, Ray was awarded Best Actor for his role in ''Sweet Savage'' from the Adult Film Association's third Erotica Awards.
