He looked like a powerful guy in his movies. Imagine if George Kennedy, Clint Walker, Dan Blocker, and John Wayne entered a tavern together.

They were, and are, all 6'4". It would be impressive for sure.

Re: Celebs that served in the Military
If they were in an ugly mood it would be downright frightening.

Re: Celebs that served in the Military
Burt Young enlisted in the Marines and served from 1957-59. He was on their boxing team and he won 32 of his 34 bouts. That got him ready for the Rocky movies.

That is a lot of bouts for that period of time. He certainly was not ring shy.

Re: Celebs that served in the Military
In the late 50's it was common for boxers to fight on a weekly basis, they didn't get paid much!

Re: Celebs that served in the Military
I worked with a local pro boxer once. I don't think he fought every week, maybe twice a month. It's still tough fighting your way up the ranks. They still don't get paid that much at his level.

Re: Celebs that served in the Military
Years ago I stepped into the ring against a professional boxer. I call it a success as I didn't get killed.
