Oooops wrong one. Confused him with George.
Its the Hercules one.
Steve Reeves.
Very Good Boner
(Did the "Rocky Horror" clue help?
)
Yep,
Steve Reeves
After basic training Steve went into advanced combat training preparing for war. After completion of his special training he received orders to ship out to the Philippines. He was granted a two-week leave and returned to Oakland to spend time with his family and friends. Unfortunately, a flu bug followed him home and he spent the entire two weeks sick in bed! He returned to Camp Roberts for processing and assignment.
Steve and his company were transported to San Francisco to board a troop ship heading for the Philippines. The ship arrived at the island of Mindanao in the Philippines mid-month in February 1945. Mindanao was a replacement camp for the 25th infantry Division. Steve landed on Luzon by way of Lingayen Beach and continued with his company to San Jacinto, the Division headquarters. The division continued on and advanced to San Manuel.
General Mac Authur paid a visit to San Manuel while Steve was there. Steve belonged to Company A of the 25th Division, which was involved in the taking of Balete Pass. After much fighting Steve contracted malaria, complicated by a serious jungle fever. Steve was transported to a Manilla hospital where he spent months recuperating.
Considered by many to be the first modern bodybuilder, Reeves won the following titles:1946 - Mr. Pacific Coast
1947 - Mr. Western America
1947 - Mr. America
1948 - Mr. World
1950 - Mr. Universe

Not the best career choices:After the box office success of Hercules, Reeves turned down a number of parts that subsequently made the careers of other actors. He was asked to star as
James Bond 
in Dr. No (1962), which he turned down. He also
declined the role that finally went to Clint Eastwood in A Fistful of Dollars (1964).
Can he leap Rook alt monkeys in a single bound?
Is he faster than a Noe 110 base take? 
Can't figure why this guy never played Superman. The guy that did, George Reeves, was built like Michael Moore compared to Steve.
