Bill Goldberg
Bill på omslaget till tidningen P.O.W
Bill Goldberg såg jag för första gången i filmen Bulletproof med Adam Sandler. (Bill spelade då den jättelike torpeden Bledsoe). Det första som slog mig med en gång var hur otroligt stor han var! Här snackar vi jättestor! Hur har han blivit så stor och vad sysslar han med när han inte är skådis? Att han hade spelat amerikansk football var inte så svårt att fatta men det var det enda jag visste om honom. När han sen dök upp som Romeo i filmen Universal Soldier 2 hade han växt ytterligare. Jag knappade då in Bill Goldberg på Altavista och fick reda på följande (tyvärr är texten på engelska):

BILL GOLDBERG (Romeo) is one of & the most explosive and charismatic stars in World Championship Wrestling, steadily ascending the ranks with his signature move, the punishing "jackhammer." A former University of Georgia all-American defensive lineman, Goldberg also played several seasons with the NFL's Los Angeles Rams and Atlanta Falcons. Goldberg brings the speed and power of his imposing 6'3", 285 lb. frame to UNIVERSAL SOLDIER: THE RETURN, which is his feature film debut.
