I figured with Johnny Weissmuller playing Tarzan that he would be the answer.

He was amazing in Seven Days in May. He played opposite Kirk Douglas and Frederich March in an outstanding screenplay by Rod Serling.

I forgot the movie's name, but Lancaster had a role as a circus performer in it. That's why I guessed him.

I like him in the western Valdez is Coming.

Settlement houses are a faded idea to support the poor with resources and the middle class values of "settlers" in their midst. Mr Lancaster learned acrobatics at one, Union, that survives in NYC.

WaldoLydeker, Oops yes I did like him as Sargent Warden in "From Here to Eternity"; very good old time actor!

penawareof, I too would have guessed Weissmuller, but I believe he was a medal winner in the Olympics...at times I use my options; and I went the majority; never would guessed on Lancaster, very good old timer actor...I did like him in Elmer Gantry and Bird man of Alcatraz

Fine, fine actor. Wasn’t Kirk Douglas also an acrobat at some point in his life?

Loved him in "The Crimson Pirate" along with his mute sidekick Ojo. I will watch it anytime I see it listed on TV!
