जीवनी

According to legend, he became close friends with Bela Lugosi and once prevented Lugosi from committing suicide by threatening to throw him out a window.

Though often typecast in silent roles due to his appearance and physique--and very thick Swedish accent--he was actually a very learned and eloquent man to those who knew him personally.

His wife, Greta, reportedly did not care for the horror films he made late in his career. They made him seem to be a monster, quite the opposite of what her husband was off-camera.

Unlike most professional wrestlers, Tor had naturally blond hair. However, in his wrestling and acting days, he kept his head shaved bald to add to his villainous appearance.

Is portrayed by George 'The Animal' Steele in एड वुड (1994)
