MINI BIO:
American actor with a mop of dark, unruly hair. In films from boyhood, often in low-budget westerns, he was the prototype of the Dead End Kids, Stanley Clements and every kid from the wrong side of the tracks who never got the breaks. His best role came early, in Wild Boys of the Road. Thereafter, he seemed to be forever playing runts, jockeys, and minor leads. It comes as no surprise to find that he actually made a film called Tough Kid. Billed as "Darrow" until 1930, he died from a heart attack.
