Ralf Möeller

Ralf Möeller was born in Recklinghausen, Germany on January 12, 1959. He started weight training as a teenager and was the German Champion by 1984.

He competed in the Mr Olympia in 1998, then moved on to a successful movie and television career.

Möeller is one of only a handful of massive German bodybuilders to succeed in Hollywood. He made his film debut in 1989's Cyborg and has since appeared in a number of well-known films, including Universal Soldier (1992), Gladiator (2000) and The Scorpion King (2002) among many others.  He is rumored to have a role in the upcoming film version of The Hobbit (almost certainly not playing the diminutive Bilbo).

He also played Conan the Barbarian on TV in 1997-8.

At almost six-foot six, Möeller towers over the more famous Schwarzenegger.
