Which American actor worked as a lifeguard, but on one occasion, was unsuccessful at rescuing a man from drowning; this would haunt him for the remainder of his life?

Ronald Reagan made a similar statement. Unfortunately, newspaper accounts in the area where he was a life guard never mentioned a drowning when he was working there. Nor is there any real evidence (other than Reagan himself) that Reagan saved 70 some-odd lives as he had claimed. But it made for a good story.

Hi Mozart,
It's Telly Savalas, better known to millions worldwide, as Kojak.
Savales was a world-class poker player, held a degree in psychology and was a motorcycle racer.
He released two chart topping singles, as well as being an accomplished actor and writer.
However, long before this success, and on graduating from High School, Savalas was a lifeguard in the early 1940's. He unsuccessfully tried to rescue someone from drowning, and this failure would haunt him for the rest of his life.
