Somebody mentioned Lattimer from the movie “The Program” below. This guy was played by Andrew Bryniarski, who also played Zangeif in “Street Fighter”, Patrick “Madman” Kelly in “Any Given Sunday” and the boxer who fought Cuba Gooding Jr. in “Pearl Harbour”.
In my opinion this guy makes Vin Diesel look like weak pretty-boy. In a perfect world, Andrew Bryniarski would emerge as the next action movie star…
it sucks that he never made it big. Get him to bulk up to his Any Given Sunday size and cast him in a high-budget movie and it would be a pure testosterone flick… just like in The Program where he cleans and presses 315x8 (this scene was cut from some versions i think), and puts his head through the car window.
Oh yeah, I have opinions on this guy. For one, he needs a better agent. And another, he needs to take some acting lessons.
Does anyone remember him as Christopher Walken’s son in Batman Returns? And he was in sometype of Mortal Kombat flick, too. The one with Van Damme. If he wasn’t grimicing, growling, or grinding his jaw, he was wooden. As in baaaad actor.
For awhile there, he was really lobying to be Lobo (DC Comics’ character) on the big screen.
I just don’t think he has the presence to carry a major motion picture.
Now, if we’re talking about Brian Thompson (Fright Night 2, various X-Files and Buffy eps; a whole host of other movies…) - now why THIS guy hasn’t gone beyond “supporting character actor” is beyond me.
Because he sucks as an actor!!! You might be big and huge but he no acting skill whats so ever. And I don’t think he is as flexiable as some of the other actors are. Granted Vin Diesel is not big but he is can pull off a lot of the action scenes. He’s pretty flexiable and quick to… Andrew is not he’s just a big guy w/ muscles.
Well you guys are probably right, he can’t act very well… put Patricia have you seen “The Program”? He is pretty good in that.
Fitone, I am going to post in a couple of weeks hopefully with improved form. I am pretty limited in my knowledge of these lifts, any suggestions for exercises I could video and post?
