Blond, beefy, and standing six-foot-five, it is small wonder that professional wrestler Big John Studd specialized in playing heavies and bikers in such feature films as Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man (1990) and Caged in Paradise (1990). He made his film debut with a small role in Micki and Maude (1984). As a member of the World Wrestling Federation, Studd (born John Minton) was most famous during the 1980s for his feud with Andre the Giant, an ongoing battle that was featured in numerous professional wrestling videos.
