The son of circus performers, the diminutive Frankie Darro began appearing in films as a juvenile player in 1924; he co-starred with western star Tom Tyler in several silent oaters at FBO in the mid-1920s, and was cast in leading roles in Little Mickey Grogan (1927) and The Circus Kid (1928).
Darro, who was always a physical performer, did a lot of his own stunts, which he performed out of need because stuntmen of his stature were hard to come by. He is most known for his role as the robot's voice in the television series "Millionaire" due to his distinct, husky voice.
