What was it like working on that film? Since you and Arnold were both bodybuilders, what can you say about his bodybuilding achievements from a professional point of view? You starred in a now cult «Conan The Barbarian» with Arnold Schwarzenegger back in 1982. The local snake wrangler, who did not have the experience to handle this snake, had a hard time and the snake almost crushed me to death. I did a stunt with a very large Anaconda in the water. It wasn’t easy for the trainers to call them off.Īnother dangerous stunt was on the film “Piranha, Piranha” which was shot down in South America. Once the dogs got started they didn’t want to stop. One stunt that comes to mind is when I was attacked by the War Dogs in the film “Conan the Barbarian.” Even though I was heavily padded, I could feel the Rottweillers, starting to bite down thru the padding. Looking back now, which of the many stunts you did, was the most difficult, maybe the most dangerous? You are an honorary member of a Motion Pictures Stuntmen Association. I learned the Russian language at Syracuse University while I was in the National Security Agency, during the Cold War. On screen you’ve played many Russian characters, and earlier even taught Russian at the UCLA University… Where did you learn the language? Have you ever been in a Russian-speaking country? Smith, according to your biography, you are fluent in Russian, German, French and Serbo-Croatian languages. This is an exclusive interview with a Hollywood legend. Oh, did I mention that Smith also fought in a Korean War, is one of the honorary members of the Stuntmen’s Association of Motion Pictures, and has just recently published his book of poetry? Back in the day, he also taught Russian in a university, and fought California wildfires. Smith is fluent in 5 languages, he used to study martial arts, and was a bodybuilder. In the beginning of the 80’s, Smith starred in a number of well known, to-be-cult films, such as Conan The Barbarian (with Arnold Schwarzenegger), Red Dawn (with Charlie Sheen and Patrick Swayze), Rumble Fish (with Mickey Rourke, Nicholas Cage & Dennis Hopper).

For movie fans, Smith is best remembered for his 70’s biker movies, and TV-series. He started his career way back in the 40’s and is still going strong. The man has nearly 300 roles in both films and television. And, there are other types, who are being cast in TV-series, low-budget films, Hollywood blockbusters, and independent movies. There are actors that need only 10 acting credits to be considered real stars, and be remembered.
