Born Ray Benard in 1902 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Ray "Crash" Corrigan first began his Hollywood career as a fitness trainer for film stars in the 1920s and 1930s...
In 1932, while working with some of MGM's actors, Cedric Gibbons saw the muscular trainer and offered him work at the studio in small roles. One of his first assignments at MGM was to be Johnny Weissmuller's stunt double in one of the Tarzan films. He worked in numerous films, usually in uncredited roles, until he was offered a contract with Republic Pictures. In 1936, he signed with Republic and changed his name to Ray Corrigan. The nickname "Crash"...
Corrigan left Republic at the end of his contract in the late 1930s over a salary dispute. He later signed with Monogram and made a string of westerns....
In 1937, he purchased a large parcel of land in the Simi Valley of California, which soon became "Corriganville"....
