Sven-Ole Thorsen (born September 24, 1944) is a Danish actor, stuntman, bodybuilder and athlete. A physically powerful man, he once won the Danish "Verdens Stærkeste Mand" ("Strongest man in the world") competition. Using his stature he often plays imposing giants and villains in his films who are somehow beaten by smaller opponents in a David and Goliath manner, but he has also played heroic characters such as Gunnar the legendary warrior in The Viking Sagas. His autobiography Stærk mand i Hollywood (strong man in Hollywood) was published on October 26, 2007, and was very well reviewed. The first printing of the book reportedly sold out in 24 hours.
