Tor was in the Bing Crosby - Bob Hope movie Road to Rio (1947) as Samson and had a part in Abbott and Costello in the Foreign Legion (1950) as Abou Ben.Ĭontrary to how it was depicted in the semi-documentary "Ed Wood," that Ed approached Tor and asked him if he ever fancied the notion of becoming an actor (and starting his film career), Ed worked with Tor towards the end of his movie career. Later, he got larger roles with character names. He was in 31 movies, usually as "Weightlifter" or "Strongman." Tor started appearing (uncredited, or in bit parts) in movies as early as 1934. Most of his adult life, he was a professional wrestler.
Tor Johnson was a big man, with a big heart, who was born October 19, 1903, in Sweden.
