  1. Victor Mature,  Samson and Delilah, 1949.   Stayed aboard as almost an extra – and again in Mature’s Demetrius and the Gladiators, 1954. Before joining Davy Crockett and  Old Yeller in several Disney films. Pompous director CB DeMille also looked over Rory Calhoun, Jim Davis, Errol Flynn, William Hopper (Hedda’s son), John Ireland, Burt Lancaster, Glen Langan, Willard Parker, Steve Reeves, Roberts Ryan and Taylor, Murvyn Vye  and even the newest evangelist in town, Dr Billy Graham.
