At the 1932 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, he was the only American man to win a swimming gold medal\u2014in the 400 free.<\/p>\n<p>His success at the Games\u2014and his rugged good looks\u2014led him to be picked as one of 40 Olympic athletes invited to Paramount Pictures for screen tests. When Paramount signed him to a contract, he dropped out of law school at the University of Southern California and went on to star in more than 170 films on screen and television.<\/p>\n<p>He starred in popular Hollywood serials such as \u201cFlash Gordon,\u201d \u201cBuck Rogers\u201d and \u201cBilly the Kid.\u201d He challenged Johnny Weissmuller by starring as \u201cTarzan\u201d in two films, and on television, he was \u201cCaptain Gallant of the French Foreign Legion.\u201d He also was the male lead in the Billy Rose Aquacade and later produced his own Aquacade water shows that performed all over the world.<\/p>\n<p>At the peak of his fame in the early 1950s, Buster Crabbe Comics appeared. \u201cUnlike most actors,\u201d read the promotional materials, \u201cBuster Crabbe is actually every bit the he-man he portrays in his movie roles! His superb physique and extraordinary strength was acquired by living the part, not by acting it!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The stories were a mix of real life and the characters he played in the movies. In one, for example, he was in Rio de Janeiro, representing the United States at a swimming meet when \u201che meets tougher competition than he bargained for and finds that the race is \u2018The Swim for Life.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2021\/swimming-world-magazine-june-2021-issue-pdf-only\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>To read more about Buster Crabbe and swimming history from the ISHOF archives,<br \/>\nClick here to download the full June 2021 Issue of <em>Swimming World<\/em> Magazine<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><br \/>\nBruce Wigo, historian and consultant at the International Swimming Hall of Fame, served as president\/CEO of ISHOF from 2005-17.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2021\/swimming-world-magazine-june-2021-issue-pdf-only\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"474636\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimming-world-june-2021-nathan-adrian-a-natural-leader-on-sale-now\/swimming-world-june-2021-nathan-adrian-a-natural-leader-cover\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Swimming-World-June-2021-Nathan-Adrian-A-Natural-Leader-COVER.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,1070\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Swimming World June 2021 &#8211;
