Dolph Lundgren
|
Dolph Lundgren is developing a career that is taking him beyond the macho roles suited to his 6' 5" athletic physique that brought him fame in "Rocky IV" opposite Sylvester Stallone and "Universal Soldier" with Jean Claude Van Damme. He is working with a New York theater troupe he founded called Group of Eight, both producing and acting. His portrayal in last year's "Johnny Mnemonic" as a flamboyant psycho street preacher earned critical praise: the LA Times said he was "explosively fanatical and funny.. he actually gives the best performance in the movie."
Dolph earned a masters degree in Chemical Engineering, and could have gone on to MIT, but made the choice to pursue acting instead. In addition to Swedish and English, he speaks German and "a little" French, and some Japanese.
An accomplished athlete with a second (I think now, 3rd ?) degree black belt in Kyokushin karate, and also involved in swimming, boxing, kickboxing, running, squash and free climbing, he is the leader of the 1996 U.S. pentathlon team, coordinating various planning and promotional activities.
