Carl Weathers actually was an athlete. Played in the NFL and CFL before he was an actor

Burt Lancaster was in a sense an "athlete" -- he was a professional acrobat in a circus. Essentially, professional gymnastics.

He later played Jim Thorpe in a biopic and made a circus movie, Trapeze, where he allegedly did all his own stunts.
