Before The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin, Aaker appeared in the movies The Greatest Show on Earth and High Noon at the young age of 8.
Veteran actor and former child star Lee Aaker has sadly passed away.
Aaker is perhaps best known for playing Rusty, a young boy raised by U.S. Cavalry soldiers at Fort Apache, in the classic TV series The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin.
Famous for starring as the orphan Rusty alongside his German shepherd pal on The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin in the 1950s, Aaker reportedly had a stroke and died on April 1 near Mesa, Arizona.
