Brother of famous boxer

1. I was the brother of a famous boxer who was famous in my own right

2. The same hands which molded the Frankenstein monster once also molded me

3. If I did what I did in reel life in real life it would have created a financial panic

 

Orsen Wells's brother... Bombadier Billy.... lol

 

ah, no.

 

Bombadier William?? lol

 

I need another hint OLD FOGEY, because MY brother was an only child!
Hint please?

 

His brother the boxer also acted a bit in Hollywood.

 

It's not Buddy Baer is it?

 

Yes, it is. I was hoping that not mentioning that he had been a boxer also would throw you off.

Buddy played a monster in a movie (Giant from the Unknown) in the late fifties and he was made up by Jack Pierce who did the makeup for Karloff as the Frankenstein monster.

As a Baer (or bear, his character name was Ursus) he killed a bull with his bare hands in the Arena in Quo Vadis--such an act would have really hurt the stock market.

 

Cool. :good

 

Wasnt his son (or max's son) Jed Clampetts son in the beverly hillbillies tv show. Come to think of it, i think his name was max baer jnr

 

Correct. Jethro Bodine was played by Max's son, Max Baer, Jr. Buddy Baer was his uncle.
