Hans Lundgren

Dolph Lundgren is an actor, film director, screenwriter and producer from Sweden. He gained fame for his participation in Hollywood action movies. The actor was lucky enough to wake up famous after the premiere of the talented work "Rocky 4", where he appeared in the form of Russian boxer Ivan Drago. Later in his film career there were ups and downs that only hardened the character of the performer.

Dolph was born in the suburbs of the Swedish capital, in the town of Spang. Karl Lundgren, the father of the future actor, was an engineer and economist, worked under the Swedish government. Brigitte Lundgren, Dolph's mother, taught foreign languages at the school. The boy was the firstborn of Charles and Brigitte. Later three more children were born: daughters Annika and Katarina and son Johan.

As a child, Dolph was a frail, painful, allergic child. They did not add self-confidence and endless bullying, ridicule and beatings of his father. To prove to himself that he is able to become different, the boy became interested in martial arts. Initially, the choice of the teenager fell on the classic judo, but then Lundgren switched to karate and engaged in two styles - goju-ryu and kekusinkai. The young fighter in the last style of martial arts succeeded.

In 1977, the 20-year-old won the Swedish championship. Then two years in a row he confirms the title. In 1979 he participated in the World Cup, where he lost to the opponent only in the final. He won the British Open twice in 1980 and 1981.

Since 1979 he served in the Swedish Armed Forces in the Marine Regiment. After demobilization he studied at the Stockholm Royal Institute of Technology and the University of Sydney. He holds a master's degree in chemical engineering from Australia.

After the Australian University, the young man was invited to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as Dolph won a grant. However, while studying in Sydney, Lundgren meets singer and actress Grace Jones. In his youth, Dolph moved to New York, where he tried himself as a model, dancer, moonlighting as a bouncer in clubs and studying acting courses.

Lundgren's debut in the movie was a small episode in the next James Bond film "View to Kill", where the young actor played the bodyguard of the KGB general. Then the guy sent the portfolio to different studios for a long time, but received refusals because of the high growth.

However, correctly weighing the pros and cons, Dolph does a photo shoot in the form of a boxer and gets the role of a negative hero - Soviet athlete Ivan Drago in the film "Rocky 4" with Sylvester Stallone. This work critics will call the first breakthrough in Lundgren's creative biography in cinema.

The main role of the actor received two years later in the film "Lords of the Universe", staged on comics. The film failed at the box office, as well as the work "Red Scorpion", in which the performer again played a Russian. The following films "The Punisher" and "Angel of Darkness" were also taken very cool. Critics called Lundgren an actor of the same role, saying that the acting talent is significantly inferior to the effect of muscles. Roles in action movies become the main in the career of a Hollywood artist.

Dolph continues to play strong guys, however, chooses scenarios with deeper dialogues. The most famous films of the period were the films "The Showdown in Little Tokyo" in 1991, in which Lundgren plays a policeman fighting against the Japanese mafia, and "Universal Soldier" 1992, where his partner was Jean-Claude Van Damme. Dolph plays American sadistic soldier Andrew Scott. Experts continued to mercilessly criticize the skill of the actor, but these films had great commercial success.

Then Lundgren's career went into decline, he almost stopped writing about it in the specialized press. During the period of the 90s and zero critics highlight only a few paintings, which, despite the commercial failure, still worthy of viewing.

In 2004, the American-Canadian action movie "Naprolom" was also remembered by the audience. In this film, the actor played a policeman Frank Gennon, for whom the last days in the service became a real test.
