This Hollywood performer was a circus clown--for U.S. Intelligence! Who was this performer?

Correct! Besides working as a clown and a trapeze artist in a Mexican circus, he was also taking fishing trips off the West coast. All of this was to monitor and photograph German activities in the area, including U-boat movements, before official U. S. involvement in WWII. And then he joined the Coast Guard...and the Naval Reserve...and helped save a bunch of Marines on Tarawa...and worked for Native American and environmental causes in his later years. All this from the Green Acres guy.
