My Take
Bruce Cabot will forever be the man who tried to save Fay Wray from a giant ape. As Jack Driscoll in the original 1933 King Kong, he became part of cinema history, but I think his career deserves more than that single credit. He showed real range across The Last of the Mohicans, Fritz Lang's Fury, and the Western Dodge City, the kind of sturdy character work that held Hollywood's golden age together. Born Etienne de Pelissier Bujac Jr. in Carlsbad, New Mexico, he reinvented himself as a classic leading man. There's something fascinating about an actor whose biggest role still echoes nearly a century later.
