Dolph Lundgren is a Swedish-American actor, filmmaker, and martial artist known for his diverse career in the entertainment industry.

His athletic background includes serving as captain of the Swedish National Karate Team and winning titles in the Swedish, European, and Australian Heavyweight Full Contact Divisions.

Lundgren made his film debut in "A View to a Kill" and gained widespread recognition for his role as Ivan Drago in "Rocky IV." He was selected for the part after an extensive audition process and starred opposite Sylvester Stallone. Lundgren's performance in "Rocky IV" earned him the Marshall Trophy for Best Actor. He continued to build a career in action films, starring in "Masters of the Universe," "The Punisher," "Universal Soldier" with Jean-Claude Van Damme, and "Johnny Mnemonic" with Keanu Reeves. In 2026, he cameoed in the remake of "Masters of the Universe."

Lundgren has accumulated nearly 100 acting credits and has worked as a writer, producer, and director, including on the crime drama "Wanted Man" with Kelsey Grammer and Roger Cross. He is also the author of the book "Train Like an Action Hero: Be Fit Forever."
