- Born Louis Morelli, he was a brief contract player for 20th Century-Fox in the early 1960s. Before being discovered he was a used car salesman. Fox hoped to capitalize on his Rock Hudson-type sex appeal and cast him in two big movies opposite two of its stars, The Marriage-Go-Round (1961) with Susan Hayward and James Mason and It Happened in Athens (1962) starring Jayne Mansfield. Mansfield and Colton had a brief affair during their filming time together. Fox's plans to make him a heartthrob never panned out and he left the industry.
