Don is probably best remembered for his role as Ernie Kaltenbrunner in the 1985 comedy horror “The Return of the Living Dead”.
Don’s career spans over 40 years in both film and TV.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, and raised in Ozone Park Queens, and later Westchester, Long Island, Don Calfa was originally interested in a career in the fine arts. He got the acting bug after seeing films such as Rebel Without A Cause and Vertigo. After dropping out of high school to study at Irwin Piscotor's The Dramatic Workshop, (he finished his degree in night school), Calfa spent two years in summer stock which enabled him to join Actors Equity and eventually get his SAG card.
Don has starred alongside some of cinema’s greats including, Warren Beatty in “Bugsy”, Michael Douglas in “The Star Chamber”, Jack Nicholson in “The Postman always rings twice” and many more.
Among Don’s most memorable roles were as “Mr. Pitts" on the TV series Beverly Hills, 90210, Ralph Wilum in “Chopper Chicks in Zombietown”, Paulie in “Weekend at Bernie’s”, Scarface in “Foul Play”.
His stage work includes extensive off-off-Broadway work, and he appeared on Broadway in Lenny.
Nowadays Don still works in the movie business and works the convention circuit in the USA, along side his friend Beverly Randolph who he met on the set of “The Return of the Living Dead”.
Don recently along with the rest of the ROTLD cast recorded a cast commentary for a new special edition release of the Return of the Living Dead.
Don's UK fans will be pleased to know that he will be attending the Memorabilia Show at the NEC Birmingham on 24th and 25th November 2007.
Don loves his fans and appreciates their comments and support. He is informed regularly about the progress of this page and is touched by YOUR support.
