He was so gorgeous in "South Pacific". The bod! The tan! The VPL! Why didn't he become a big star?
Check the VPL beginning at the 4:52 mark in this video

He was a nude model in the early '50s. They get him out of his shirt in 12 to the Moon and Attack of the Giant Leeches.

Any of his no doubt artistic nudes available on the interwebs?

They're frequently on eBay.

I saw Ken one night on television in "Attack of the Giant Leeches" from 1959. Definitely a hunk. I'm surprised the scene where you can tell he is not wearing undewear under his uniform pants got by the censors. The guy was hung.I did some research on Ken when I did not see a mention of family in his biographies. I was able to connect with a cousin via email who filled in the gaps. Ken (who the family knew as "Don", his middle name) was married back in the 1950's to a woman named Bette. They had five children together. When the acting jobs dried up in the early 1960's he went to Italy to make euro spy movies. He evidently enjoyed the single life so much he decided to stay and did not send for his family. I'm guessing he paid support over the years until the youngest child reached legal age. He and Bette divorced in California in 1981. He remained aloof from his sister and other relatives. He spent most of the late 1970s and early 1980s riding around Europe on a motorcycle. He passed away in his adopted country of Italy on June 1, 2009 at age 81.
