Was a vice president and spokesman for a computer software company that implemented one of the first supermarket bar-coding and computer inventory systems.

Shortly after arriving in Hollywood in 1938, he tested for the boxing lead in Conflito de Duas Almas (1939), but lost out to William Holden. He ended up with an uncredited bit in the movie. He later played a boxer in the movie Perigo Louro (1941) where he met first wife Ann Sothern.

Upon his death, he was cremated by the Neptune Society and his ashes were given to his widow, the actress Anne Jeffreys. When Jeffreys died on September 27, 2017, two months before what would've been Sterling's 100th birthday, she herself was promptly cremated with her ashes deposited within the same urn that held his. The urn that holds them together is now in the custody of Tisha Sterling in Idaho.
