Trivia

He won a silver medal in the 1928 Olympics for the shot put.

He attended the "Hollywood Collectors & Celebrities Show", at Beverly Garland's Holiday Inn, in North Hollywood, California.

Considered Edgar Rice Burroughs' favorite to play Tarzan, Bruce lost the jungle film series in 1932 when he suffered a separated shoulder from a tackle in the gridiron flick Touchdown (1931). Of course, Johnny Weissmuller became a big star when he won the role. Bruce recuperated and did get to play Tarzan in the serial The New Adventures of Tarzan (1935).

His father was a lumber man who owned a couple of different logging camps. Bruce built up his physique working in these lumber camps as a youth.

Retired from acting in the 60s and became commercially employed. *
