His debut film with Jean-Claude Van Damme - Don't Back Down and Don't Give Up, in which he got the image of the Russian fighter Ivan Krashinsky, was released in 1986.
After that he was invited to the movie Predator, but it did not come to filming. There are several versions of why he left this project. Some say that the requirements for his character have changed, and Jean-Claude was no longer needed, while others claim that he had a fight with the producer of the tape.
The actor had to beat the thresholds of film studios to be filmed. So, after much persuasion, he managed to persuade the famous producer Menachem Goland to his side, and in 1988 a new film with Jean-Claude Van Damme was released - Bloodsport. The film grossed more than $ 30 million at the box office, although only 1 was spent on its filming. Gruvemuveend
