Oblast in Russia to Estonian parents Fidrik and Erika Käro who had
been resettled in the area as part of the Stolypin reform. He was one
of eight siblings. At age four, the family were able to return to
Estonia and settled for a while in Loksa and Vihula. Käro attended
schools in Väike-Maarja before his father died when Käro was ten.
Afterward, the family moved several more times. Because of his
family's poor financial situation after the death of his father, he
worked on a collective farm following primary school.It was during a
school trip to Tallinn that Käro became interested in theatre after
watching Estonian ballerina Helmi Puur perform in Swan Lake.
Afterward, he took dance lessons. After graduating from secondary
school in 1960, he began working at the Väike-Maarja cultural centre
as an artistic instructor, then the artistic director and finally the
