Title: so what exactly happened to Levrones Hollywood career?
Post by: Scimowser on May 23, 2007, 02:28:52 PM
i remember reading a quote he said along the lines of "Vin Diesel etc are just holding my place for me, they just want to be like us bodybuilders. Hollywood needs me and they know it!"

from my reckoning, hes realised that he's never gonna be a Vin Diesel and has gone back to a sport in which he had declined in anyway. His legs had been suspect a while, so i dont see how hes going to come back and make an impact against todays elite. Vic, Dex, Melvin - these guys are all at the top of their game and i dont see him beating any of them other than by name. Afterall he got alot of gifts towards the end of his career.

If he doesnt bring up the legs then he shouldnt be treated any differently than guys like Joel Stubbs, afterall from the waist up is only half the body. I would like to see him prove me wrong but i just dont see him doing it.

Times are way over for Bodybuilders to make it big in Hollywood... Steven Blechman's metrosexual ass would make a better career than Levron.

In what gay porn? Bbers still get roles here and there but usually in laughable supporting roles so people can laugh at them.

Absolutely. I have the Muclemag from '93 which has the post Olympia write up and I think it's Bob Kennedy who suggests that Dorian has Hollywood at his feet if he wants ;D. I also have numerous Flex's from the 80's where Rich Gaspari says in interviews that he has some "big acting jobs in the works". Maybe I missed those. It's amazing how delusional bodybuilders and bodybuilding writers were back then.
Check out IMDB for Rich's illustrious acting career.

Nah, actually a lot have.  i don't follow it so closely but guys like Danny Aiello, a few guys in the Sopranos,  Charles Dutten started after getting out of jail for manslaughter, Olympia Dukaks started late as well, I believe. 

How about Tony Danza...even though it wasn't late for him 20's or so, he was just boxing a guy named Tommy maloy at the gym in ny, the casting from Taxi came down to look at Tommy and not Tony and chose Tony instead.  Ya never know what hard work, good luck and desire will bring so why not give it a go.....or would you rather be the critic critisising weveryone that does?

I always wanted to pro wrestle...things happen when your young, I never had twop nickles for wrestling school when younger so I did other things.  At 37 I saw a show and said "I GOTTA do this now or I'll regret it forever...I stopped everything I was doing, started learning to wrestle, broke bones, separated shoulder, bumped myself around, stuick with it and I wrestled my first match for WWE in March......

Only weak minds criticise...just like the people critisising guys like Randy coture before he came back and won, like the guys criticising Evander Holyfield, like the guy criticising Clemens at the soppossed end of his carreer in boston....

If you doubt or criticise, someone will make a fool of you and Kevin just may, you never know.

yeah that's true....the guys and other names I mentioned and have heard of seem to just have "it", as they say...a very natural talent similar to Kevins natural talent for bodybuilding and athletic things like running adn such.  But I never say never because I've seen people prove people wrong all the time.

talent/charisma is huge.  if he had it, age wouldn't matter.  but we all know he doesn't have it. he probably does too.

Interesting to bring that up.  I heard that Barbra walters was doing a interview with Joe weider and he brought along Arnold.  She diodn't want him on the show and said he would never make it and stuff.  haha, look at Arnold now...I think I even heard Arnold tell that story.

p.s. the golden globe is only relevant in that it was won at a young age . . . just to show where arnold was w his career at 30 . . . use your grey cells once in a while, earl.

I remember in 1987 when I was in Ft. Meyers, FL doing an appearance I met and became friends with a guy who owned a nightclub there called Norma Jeans.  I did some live radio shows from his place and exhibitions.  Well one day he asked me if I had heard of the WWF and if I wanted to be in it with him,  He said he would be the coach and I would be the wrestler.  He was all excited and stuff.  I said no cause I was just to busy doing what I was doing and didn't think it would be a big thing.  Then about 5 years later or so I was watching the WWF of TV and I see him.  He is on there and he is doing great.  He was coaching and later became a very popular wrestler.  I mean he was big time.  I missed out on that one.  I'd say his nme but some on here would think I am name dropping.
