This tough-talking actor worked as a circus acrobat until an injury steered him away from the big top and toward the big screen. Who is he?

Lancaster won Best Actor for playing the titular con man in 1960's "Elmer Gantry," although he's probably best remembered by film fans for rolling around on the beach with Deborah Kerr in "From Here to Eternity" and getting sand in a bunch of uncomfortable places.
