Audie Murphy had a reasonably successful acting career after WWII, using his book turned to movie,"To Hell and Back" as his first role, playing himself. He won the Medal of Honor as Leej said, but was also the MOST decorated soldier in US history. He enlisted under age and always looked much younger than his years. He died in a plane crash in the sixties and is buried at Arlington where they could not fit all of his decorations on his stone marker.
