* Dolph Lundgren grew up in Stockholm, Sweden, where he attended the Royal Institute of Technology. Spending time abroad in the U.S. on various academic scholarships, he attended Washington State University and Clemson in South Carolina. He received a master's degree in chemical engineering from the University of Sydney, Australia in 1982 (where he bused tables and worked as a bouncer at Icabod's Cafe) and the next year was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to MIT.
* While on his way to Boston to continue his studies, he stopped in New York City and there his life took a radical turn. He met with noted drama coach Warren Robertson, and decided to give acting a try. After beating out 5,000 hopefuls and winning the role of Drago opposite Sylvester Stallone in "Rocky IV," Lundgren went on to star in many feature films.
* Previous to getting the coveted role in "Rocky IV," he auditioned for a role in "Rambo: First Blood Part II."
* A world-class athlete and winner of several international karate competitions, Lundgren took up martial arts at 14 and has achieved his second-degree black belt in karate (he's currently training for his third-degree black belt) and in 1980 he became a master in European kickboxing. His accomplishments in the sport include being the captain of the Swedish full-contact karate team and the winner of the European Heavyweight Full-Contact Karate Championship in 1980 and 1981, as well as the Australian heavyweight division title in 1982. titles. Lundgren's lifelong interest in physical fitness led to his 1987 release of an exercise video called "Maximum Potential," based on his own daily workout.
* Lundgren was selected by the U.S. Olympic committee to serve as the Team Leader of the 1996 U.S. Olympic pentathlon team. He was responsible for administrative coordination and planning between the U.S. team and the USOC, and is also actively involved in promoting the image of this sport. "Over the past few years, my involvement with modern pentathlon has grown from pure interest to an opportunity to raise the visibility of the sport, increase recruitment of young talent and make sure that this event, originated by the founder of the Olympics, Baron de Coubertin, will remain in the Games," Lundgren said.
* Lundgren recently announced the formation of Thor Pictures, which produced the dramatic thriller "Pentathlon." He is also a founding member of the theatre group, Group of Eight, which recently performed "Another Octopus" in New York City.
