She brought a real complexity to the role of Julia, hardly making it a typical performance for a villainess, making her a dangerous, yet strangely moving and sympathetic character. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

(...I always noticed him every time I saw him in something) It's interesting to note that Rafer Johnson is said to have originally landed the role of Draba in Spartacus only to turn it down in response to the Amateur Athletic Union's strict stance on professionalism at the time. His eventual replacement, earlier UCLA stud Woody Strode, of course, stepped in as the Ethiopian gladiator and may well have actually been the superior as I can't see Johnson upstaging the larger-than-life Strode. Strode's outsized portrayal of the SERGEANT RUTLEDGE title character in the same year supports my observation. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

On the same "track" but far, far behind as you no doubt know, Dargo, was Rafer Johnson's UCLA teammate and friend C.K. Yang who rates a small IMDB sheet. Rafer Johnson is seen here in dogging pursuit of Yang as Johnson kept his decathlon point spread golden in Rome the same year as the aforementioned releases of Woody Strode films: If an athletic scholarship to UCLA is a closed path to one hoping to get into the movies, there's always the expensive School of Cinematic Arts across town. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
