Spartacus: War of the Damned Sal Mineo Early life and career[edit] Mineo was born in the Bronx, the son of coffin makers Josephine (née Alvisi) and Salvatore Mineo, Sr.[4][5] He was of Sicilian descent; his father was born in Italy and his mother, of Italian origin, was born in the United States. His mother enrolled him in dancing and acting school at an early age.[6] He had his first stage appearance in The Rose Tattoo (1951),[3] a play by Tennessee Williams. He also played the young prince opposite Yul Brynner in the stage musical The King and I. As a teenager, Mineo appeared on ABC's musical quiz program Jukebox Jury, which aired in the 1953-1954 season. Rebel Without a Cause and after[edit] His breakthrough as an actor came in Rebel Without a Cause,[3] in which he played John "Plato" Crawford, the sensitive teenager smitten with Jim Stark (played by James Dean). Career decline and attempted revival[edit] Mineo returned to the stage to produce the gay-themed play Fortune and Men's Eyes (1971), which starred Don Johnson.
