He was an Olympic athlete. I believe it was fencing.

Soy 'un hijo de la playa'

He qualified for the United States fencing team prior to the 1936 Summer Olympic Games, but quit the team just prior to the games in order to take a role in the theatre that essentially led to his pursuit of acting as a career. Reminds me of a 1930's version of Jason Statham, who prior to acting was a British Commonwealth Games diver. 🐭

It's distracting, in a good way.

I'd have cast real life ex-acrobat Burt Lancaster.

Per IMDB trivia section, he was offered the role but turned it down. Wilde was the second choice.
