Career

A few years later he wrote some pieces for the Sydney Dance Company , whose director he once met by chance. While at the Sydney Dance Company , Stevens won the Australian Professional Wrestling Championship , both tag team and heavyweight titles. Recurring nerve injuries due to muscle building forced him to take long breaks so that he could never attract the attention of major wrestling agencies. He was a professional wrestler for twelve years.

After his wrestler career, he devoted himself again to acting. He went to Thailand and played in several films, mostly in smaller roles, such as a bodyguard or a thug. He was known to a wider audience as Gregor Clegane in the first season of Game of Thrones and as Sedullus in Spartacus: Blood and Sand .
