Nick Cravat (January 11, 1912–January 29, 1994) was an American film actor. Life-long friend and trapeze partner of Burt Lancaster, they performed as "Lang and Cravat". He co-starred with Lancaster in nine films all together, of which The Crimson Pirate and The Flame and the Arrow are the best-known. The acrobatic Cravat is probably best remembered as playing the "gremlin" on the wing in the 1963 Twilight Zone episode, "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet".
