I Sverige r William Smith knd bara som avgrundsonde skurken Falconetti i De fattiga och de rika (med Peter Strauss och Nick Nolte).
Googlade honom hrom dagen och hittar ngot av det mrkligaste till pre-skdis karrir i hans Wiki-CV.
"Smith was born in Columbia, Missouri. Smith began his acting career at the age of eight in 1942; the physically imposing 6'2" actor is a lifelong bodybuilder and has the distinction of being the final Marlboro Man before cigarette advertising was discontinued on television.
Smith won the 200 pound (91 kg) arm-wrestling championship of the world multiple times and also won the United States Air Force weightlifting championship. Smith is a record holder for reverse-curling his own bodyweight. His trademark arms measured 18 and 1/2 inches. Smith held a 31-1 record as an amateur boxer and studied martial arts with kenpo instructor Ed Parker for several years. Smith also played semi-pro football in Germany and competed in motocross and downhill skiing events. He entered films stunt doubling for former screen Tarzan Lex Barker in a French film.
Smith earned a Bachelor of Arts from Syracuse and a Master's degree in Russian Studies from UCLA. He taught Russian at UCLA before abandoning his Ph.D. studies for an MGM contract. He also studied at the Sorbonne in Paris and the University of Munich while learning languages through the military. Smith is fluent in Russian, Serbo-Croatian, French and German. During the Korean War he was a Russian Intercept Interrogator and flew secret ferret missions over Russia. He had both CIA and NSA clearance and intended to enter a classified position with the U.S. government, but his marriage to a French actress meant the loss of security clearance"
