Biography

Mantee was born Paul Marianetti in San Francisco, California.

He made a great number of guest appearances in well-known television shows and starred in a handful of films, including a cult classic, Robinson Crusoe on Mars. A restored version of the film was released in 2007 by The Criterion Collection. ...
