Here's a little peplum for your Tuesday, the handsome and sculpted Steve Reeves. Loved watching his Hercules movies every Sunday (along with the Abbott and Costello movies) on television. Reeves was born in Montana. Here's a quote attributed to him from IMDb:
Filmmaking in Europe was a little different from working in the United States. There's a scene in 'Hercules' where I'm in chains -- they looked like steel, but they were actually made of wood -- and I had to swing these chains at my supposed enemies who were advancing towards me. Well, I didn't want to really strike someone so I kind of held back with my motions. The director yelled, 'Swing those chains! Swing them hard!' I said, 'I don't want to hurt someone.' And the director yelled back, 'If they don't get hurt, they don't get paid!'
