	Actors - Robert Swenson

Robert A. Swenson, more commonly known as Jeep Swenson (5 January, 1957–18 August, 1997), was an American pro-wrestler, stuntman and actor.

Career

Swenson wrestled for World Class Championship Wrestling in 1987 and 1988 for Manager Gary Hart. His main feud was with Bruiser Brody, who was wrestling as the masked "Red River Jack". According to Swenson, he had the largest biceps in the world at that time.

Swenson came back briefly in 1996 to WCW as a member of the Alliance To End Hulkamania. He was originally named The Final Solution, but complaints from Jewish organizations to the Turner corporate offices forced him to be renamed The Ultimate Solution. The Alliance was the Dungeon of Doom and the Four Horsemen and they were trying to end Hulk Hogan's career.

The 6'4" Swenson played the character of Bane in the 1997 film Batman and Robin. He died of a heart attack in California in 1997.

Hulk Hogan (Terry Bollea) and James Caan gave eulogies at his funeral.
