Biography

Dan Riss, a talented actor, was born on March 22, 1910, in Streator, Illinois, a small town located in the Midwestern United States. This significant event marked the beginning of a life filled with artistic pursuits. With a career spanning many years, Riss gained recognition for his performances in notable films such as You Are There, released in 1953, Dragnet, which premiered in 1951, and Ma Barker's Killer Brood, a 1960 production.

Riss's personal life was just as noteworthy, as he was married to Virginia Irene Morphew, a woman who shared his love for the arts. Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, and a deep appreciation for the world of entertainment.

However, all good things must come to an end, and on August 28, 1970, Dan Riss's life was tragically cut short in Hollywood, California, a city that had become his second home. Despite his untimely passing, Riss's legacy lives on through his remarkable body of work, which continues to entertain and inspire audiences to this day.
