Jack Arrow was a British actor who has appeared in over 85 films since 1948. He also appeared in one film as a stuntman. His last appearance was in one episode of the TV mini-series QB VII in 1974 as a member of the jury.
Sad to say I could find no biographical information on him.

It's cool that his name is Jack Arrow. That gives me an idea for a comic book series about a guy in Los Angeles who becomes a superhero after being shot with a crossbow by a crazed serial killer. He takes the arrow out of his chest to discover that surprisingly there is no blood. Then he realizes that on the day he was supposed to die, that day being when he was shot with the crossbow, that he was wearing a bulletproof vest. Which is not unusual since he actually happens to be a cop. His real name is John Darren but from this day forward he would be known to everyone as Jack Arrow. He will eventually capture the madman who almost killed him with the crossbow and use THAT weapon as his primary weapon throughout the series along with his backup weapon, a Colt Detective Special in .38 Special. The comic book series will also feature a catchphrase that his boss, William "Chip" Weldon will say to him every time he has a major case. "That's a fact, Jack". And whenever he gets asked why he's called Jack Arrow, he nonchalantly responds by saying, "It's better than being a Jack Ass!" Well played, Jack. Well played. Wish me luck.
