Not sure about the vet.
He was a WW2 vet in “Bad Day at Black Rock”
Yes- he was the one-armed “Mr. McReedy” who exposed the murder of a Japanese farmer in a small town.
Spencer Tracy is correct.
He was actually a fisherman twice- in The Old Man and the Sea, but also in his Oscar-winning performance in Captains Courageous.

So is it Burt Reyolds this time? I don’t remember a car thief, but it’s The Longest Yard, Boogie Nights and Hooper for the last three.
Yes, I figured Burt was overdue!
BUT… Burt was a quarterback in The Longest Yard. He was a RUNNING back in Semi-Tough.
He was a car thief in the movie version of Elmore Leonard’s Stick.
