Director, Actor Born: January 13, 1932 in Bronx, New York City, NY Death: July 23, 1982 in Saugus Desert, near Los Angeles, CA Biography:After graduating from Florida State College, actor "Vic Morrow" came to New York, establishing himself as an interpreter of vicious young punks. His first film role was as the unregenerate high school gang leader in 1955's "The Blackboard Jungle". Morrow later channelled his "loose cannon" personality in roles calling for heroics and authority. From 1962 through 1967, he starred as Sergeant Chip Saunders on the TV series Combat! Many of the sillier movie roles accepted by Morrow in the 1970s were aimed at financing his theatrical work as an actor and director. Some of his better later roles included the mean-spirited Little League manager who smacks his own son in public after a diamond error in "The Bad News Bears" (1976). Sadly, "Vic Morrow" is most famous now not for his life but for his death; together with two Vietnamese children, Morrow was killed in a still-controversial helicopter accident... Full Biography
