BAY, You said above .... "There are a million (muscled) guys in Hollywood. Did they really need to recycle this actor?"
I argue that exact same point whenever the occasion arises while visiting the Hollywood movie making critters, but in my case I always recommend that they consider a few GetBiggers who are damn impressive ... but without a track record nor a reliable Hollywood Agent .... my arguments seem to carry little weight.
At one time Gold's Gym Venice had an office that sort of acted as a casting agent. Do you recall those days and who was the man in charge?
