Biography

Donald Kerr, a talented actor, entered this world on August 5th, 1891, in the charming town of Eagle Grove, Iowa, USA, where the gentle Iowa landscape and quaint small-town atmosphere likely played a significant role in shaping his early life and future endeavors.

As an accomplished thespian, Kerr's impressive repertoire of film appearances includes the iconic science fiction serial "Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars" (1938),the eerie and suspenseful "The Devil Bat" (1940),and the gritty crime drama "Gang Bullets" (1938),showcasing his remarkable range and versatility as a performer.
