Conan Stevens
Tall, imposing Australian actor Conan Stevens has used his physique to considerable effect in his screen career, which followed a short-lived stint as a professional wrestler. Starting out as the heavily costumed, swamp-dwelling title character of the horror film "Man-Thing," Stevens shifted to working on productions in the Asian market, including the action movie "Bangkok Adrenaline" and the martial-arts epic "True Legend." The hulking tough guy finally returned to the West for guest spots on the popular shows "Game of Thrones" and "Spartacus: Vengeance," which notably raised his profile and led to his casting as the Orc warrior Bolg in Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey."
