Daniel
Belton Sturkie, Jr. was born on January 5, 1924 somewhere in Lexington, South
Carolina. Little information about Dan can be found. He made some U.S.A.
television appearances during the mid-1950s and then apparently moved to Rome
and had an uncredited role in “Barabbas” (1961). His primary line of work in
Italy was as a dubbing actor who appeared in several films in some small supporting
parts. Dan appeared in five Euro-westerns all with Terence Hill. He first
appeared in “Boot Hill” (1969) as a miner, but was best remembered for his
appearance as Tobias in “They Call Me Trinity” (1970) his last Euro-western was
in 1972’s “Man of the East” where he’s briefly seen as a dice player. Dan returned to the United States where he died in Los Angeles, California on May 10, 1992.
Today we remember Dan Sturkie on what would have been his 90th birthday.
