Nick Cravat
Nick Cravat (
January 11,
1912â€"
January 29,
1994) was an American film actor. Trapeze partner of
Burt Lancaster , they performed as "Lang and Cravat". Life-long friend of
Burt Lancaster, whom he starred with in
The Crimson Pirate, and
The Flame and the Arrow, the acrobatic Cravat is probably best remembered as playing the "gremlin" on the wing in the 1963
Twilight Zone episode, "
Nightmare at 20,000 Feet". Played a mute character in several movies, mostly because his thick Brooklyn accent, which he could not shake, would have been out of place in the film's storyline.
