Dolph Lundgren, my first guest this week, stumbled his way into acting.

Or I guess, if I'm being more descriptive, he kicked, punched, and round-house

So it was easy for him to find under the table work in New York.

He modeled, he worked the doors at nightclubs, he was a bodyguard.

His first acting part was a non-speaking role in a view to kill in James Bond movie. He was a henchman alongside

his girlfriend at the time, Grace Jones. Yes, Grace Jones. We will get into that, I promise. Then shortly after the Bond movie Dolph Lundgren was in Rocky Four.
