Robert Charles Francis was an American actor. He appeared in only four Hollywood films, all with military themes before he was killed at age 25 in the crash of a small airplane he was piloting.


He appeared with Donna Reed in They Rode West (1954) which Variety called the film "a cut above standards of most such offerings."
