Vernon Gray

Vernon Gray was born on Mar 26, 1928 in Canada. Vernon Gray's big-screen debut came with A Day to Remember directed by Ralph Thomas in 1953, strarring Marvin.

Vernon Gray grew up in Elk Point, Alta., as Vernon Raham-Gray. "Ever since I can remember, I've wanted to be an actor," said Gray in a 1953 interview, but his family was dead set against his bid for a show-business career. Chief opponents were his father, Arthur Raham, a railway agent in Elk Point, and three engineering brothers who wanted him to be an engineer. But Gray had been acting since high school days and, while working with an automobile firm in Windsor, Ont., he had acted for the Windsor Theatre Guild. He later joined the Ottawa Repertory Company.
