Ned Romero

Ned Romero started his show business career as an opera singer; he also appeared in musicals such as Kiss Me Kate and Oklahoma! Romero's ancestry is Chitimacha Native American, French, and Spanish.

He began his movie and television career in the early 1960s. In fact, he appeared in a 1963 episode of the popular TV show, The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, portraying an opera singer. Romero has acted in many movies, notably Mark of the Gun (1969) and Winchester 73 (1967).

But, his greatest claim to fame in the acting realm has been his seemingly countless appearances on TV shows such as The Virginian, Laredo, Bonanza, Star Trek, Disney’s Wonderful World, Murder, She Wrote, Star Trek Voyager and Walker, Texas Ranger, among many others.
