Though he did not possess a Herculean acting talent by any stretch, handsom=
e bodybuilder Steve Reeves certainly had an enviable Herculean physique, an=
d made plenty good use of it in Europe during the late 1950s and early 1960=
s portraying some of filmdom's most famous bronzed gods. Reeves was origina=
lly a Montana boy born on a cattle ranch in 1926. His destiny was revealed =
early in the game when, at the age of six months, he won his first fitness =
title as "Healthiest Baby of Valley County." His father Lester died in a fa=
rming accident when Steve was just a boy, and his family moved to Oakland (=
California). He first developed an interest in bodybuilding while in high s=
chool.

Steve joined the Army in his late teens where his job was loading boxcars a=
nd trucks. He also worked out loyally at the gym during his free time and t=
he combination helped develop his body quite rapidly. Following Army servic=
e (he served for a time in the Pacific), he decided to pursue bodybuilding =
professionally. In 1946, at the age of 20, he won "Mr. Pacific Coast" in Or=
egon, which led to his titles of "Mr. Western America" (1947), Mr. America"=
 (1947), "Mr. World" (1948) and, ultimately, "Mr. Universe" (1950).

With all the body-worshiping publicity he garnered, he decided to travel to=
 New York to study and pursue acting. He subsequently returned to Californi=
a...and Hollywood. There were not huge opportunities for a muscleman in Tin=
seltown other than providing pectoral background. Steve was, however, consi=
dered for the lead role in Cecil B. DeMille's biblical costumer Samson and =
Delilah (1949), but refused when told by the legendary director he would ha=
ve to lose some of his musculature (about 15 lbs.). The part instead went t=
o Victor Mature. Steve did manage to snag the role of a detective in infamo=
us director Edward D. Wood Jr.'s Jail Bait (1954). Small parts on TV also c=
ame his way, but they too were mostly posing bits or walk-ons. To the Holly=
wood power players, Steve was just a body. Whether he could act or not was =
not a concern or selling point. Fans just wanted to see him take his shirt =
off.

Down on his luck, Steve's fortunes change when Italian film director Pietro=
 Francisci saw him play Jane Powell's boyfriend in the feature film Athena =
(1954) and persuaded him to go overseas to star in Hercules (1958) (US titl=
e: "Hercules"). Though critics dismissed the film as "muddled mythology" wh=
ile denigrating its cheapjack production values (including a poorly-dubbed =
sound track), the public went crazy over the sword-and-sandal epic and, in =
particular, Steve's marvelous beefcake heroics. He became an "overnight" st=
ar. Sequels followed, none any better or worse, with him going through the =
paces as a number absurdly-muscled biblical and mythological figures. An ab=
le horseman, he also performed many of his own stunts. Moreover, he paved t=
he way for other pumped-up acting hopefuls (Ed Fury, Mark Forest, Reg Park)=
 to seek their fame and fortune in Italy as a feature-length Samson, Ursus =
or Colossus. Nobody, however, came close to topping Steve in popularity.

A shoulder injury forced Steve's retirement, spending the remainder of his =
life promoting steroid-free bodybuilding while living on a ranch and breedi=
ng horses. The more recent bodybuilders of fame such as Arnold Schwarzenegg=
er and Lou Ferrigno, both Hercules impersonators of yore, have given Steve =
significant credit for their respective acting successes. Married twice, St=
eve died in Southern California of lymphoma on May 1, 2000, at age 74.
