Born August 15, 1924 in New York City, Danny Kega is a tall, deep-voiced American character actor known for a long history of eccentric European characters. He started his theatrical career in 1946, when he appeared in "A Flag is Born" on Broadway, later receiving roles in "Peter Pan," "Oliver" and "Irma LaDouce" before making his debut as the Martian Voldar in the critically panned and MST3k classic, "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" in 1964.

His later TV appearances included "Ironsides," "Mission: Impossible," "McMillan & Wife" and "Mannix." He also had supporting roles in the movies, "...And Justice for All" and "Vigilante." Afterward, he became president of the New York section of the Screen Actor's Guild. Sadly, he passed away from cancer at the age of 59 on July 24, 1984.
