The big, brawny, and imposing Steve Sandor was born on October 27, 1937 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and grew up in the Greenfield neighborhood. He sold copy machines and trained sentry dogs while serving as an Air Policeman in the US Air Force prior to pursuing an acting career in the late 1960s. With his large, muscular build, ruggedly handsome looks, and often intense, aggressive, and intimidating screen presence, Steve was usually cast as mean and frightening villains in both movies and TV shows. His most noteworthy film roles include scruffy biker Apache in the fun Hell's Angels '69 (1969); unstable drifter Billy Joe in The Only Way Home (1972); traumatized Vietnam veteran Ollie Hand in The No Mercy Man (1973); wishy-washy private eye Larry Evans in the splendidly gritty crime drama gem Bonnie's Kids (1972); arrogant heavyweight wrestling champion Jack "The White Knight" Braden in the offbeat made-for-TV movie Mad Bull (1977); memorably wild and scary as Stanley, the hostile biker who antagonizes Stacy Keach in a bar in the terrific cult favorite The Ninth Configuration (1980); the titular scrappy anti-hero in the low-rent post-nuke sci-fi/action dud Stryker (1983); and legendary rough-'n'-tumble frontiersman James Bowie in the short feature _Alamo: The Price of Freedom (1985)_. In addition, he was the voice of mysterious heroic warrior Dark Wolf in Ralph Bakshi's animated fantasy adventure treat Fire and Ice (1983). Also, he did guest spots on such TV series as Star Trek (1966), Gunsmoke (1955), Ironside (1967), The Streets of San Francisco (1972), Baretta (1975), Starsky and Hutch (1975), Charlie's Angels (1976), Fantasy Island (1977), CHiPs (1977), Three's Company (1976), Vega$ (1978), T.J. Hooker (1982), The A-Team (1983), The Fall Guy (1981), Knight Rider (1982) and Hunter (1984). Steve Sandor suddenly stopped acting in the late 1990s and settled down in Las Vegas, Nevada after retiring from the profession. Show less «
