Tor Johnson (19 October 1903 – 12 May 1971) was a Swedish professional wrestler (billed as The Super Swedish Angel) and actor, weighing 400 pounds at his biggest. He had a full head of blond hair, but he shaved it to maintain an imposing, villainous appearance in wrestling and acting appearances. He began getting bit parts in movies upon his move to California - usually as the strongman or weightlifter - as early as 1934. His film career ended in the early 1960s after appearing in a string of poorly-rated movies. However, he continued to make appearances on television and made a number of commercials.
