Richard Crane (I) (1918–1969)

Trivia:

Dark haired, athletic American leading man of 40's B-movies.He was at his most successful at a time when Hollywood was somewhat denuded of its male stars, most of whom were doing wartime military service. Upon their return to the ranks, Crane's career declined, though he had a brief resurgence in the 1950's as the hero of several space-borne serials, notably as the titular star of Rocky Jones, Space Ranger.
