Ray Corrigan Biography

Ray was a physical culturist and very good athlete. This is how he began working in Hollywood, as a physical fitness trainer for movie stars. Bit parts in 1932 led to action roles in the "Undersea Kingdom" and "The Leathernecks Have Landed" in 1936, the same year he began his role as Tucson Smith in the "Three Mesquiteer" series for which he did 24 pictures before leaving in 1939. He also did 20 of the 24 "Range Busters" series which ran from 1940 to 1943. He finished up playing apes in "White Gorilla" (1947) and "Killer Apes" (1953) and the role of It in "It, the Terror from Beyond Space" (1958). After he retired he operated a number of successful businesses. One of these, Corriganville, was a ranch and town used for filming TV and movie westerns. His nickname 'Crash' derived from his powerful physique and willingness to undertake dangerous stunts.
