Born on February 14, 1929, in the Bronx, New York City, Morrow gained prominence with his role as Sergeant Chip Saunders in the television series "Combat!" which aired from 1962 to 1967. The series was about World War II, and Morrow's character became iconic for its gritty portrayal and serious demeanor.

Morrow also appeared in various films, including "Blackboard Jungle" (1955), where he played a rebellious student, and "The Bad News Bears" (1976), in which he portrayed a competitive and overbearing little league baseball coach.

Tragically, Vic Morrow's life was cut short in an on-set accident during the filming of "Twilight Zone: The Movie" on July 23, 1982. He was killed in a helicopter accident along with two child actors, which led to a high-profile legal case and significant changes in Hollywood's safety standards for film production.
