Donald Gibb (or just Don Gibb
since about 1994); the original
gulity pleasure. Before Tyler
Mane was entertaining audiences
everywhere as a trucker, a super
villian, and a bully oil well
worker (Joe Dirt 2001), or the
Rock was beating up a room full
of bad guys with a stick, or
Goldberg was was trying to break
in to films by playing a bas @$$
santa or before any other larger
then life superstars even thought
about trying for Hollywood Gibb
already secured his place as a star
in both action and comedy from
cult classic films as BloodSport 1
and 2 (and the much more popular
Revenge of the Nerds 1, and 2.)
He is the origional cinema tough
guy, paving the way for the many
former athleates, stuntmen, and
pro-wrestlers to follow. Even in
this new melinium ,with so many
wannabe's to choose from ,his
unique screen presence continues
to dominate as his celebrity
status continues to rise.
(also see his very fun "official"
site) toddsbeer.com which
has candid pics, sound, and a few
unique items you can buy.)
At 6'3" he is not as big as the forementioned wrestler- actors, but he comes from an athletic background similar to several of today's big stars. Born in New York he was raised in California, then went to college at the University of New Mexico as a basketball player and a brother in Phi Delta Theta. THEN he went to University of San Diego as a football player (how many action stars got their start that way?) But either way Don is the origionl;
the ultimate star for the ages.
Don is sexy, Don is creative,
beautiful, strong, (of course)
talented and not above expanding
his dramatric range (namely the
2004 indy film Lightning Bugg.)
All his characters become instant
heros to the common man;inspiring
us to do more then we ever thought
we were capable of, and this I
believe will be his everlasting legacy.

Bloodsport 2 review
In the first half a decade or so he
had the look of a 1990's comedy
actor (however he still stood out
due to his size)but it's not my
personal favorite look for him.
click here to see more pics
from wasteoftechnology.com In the late 80's he has a
new, more rugged look
that would suit him well
as his career transitioned
from comedy to action. if you do an image search you will see
this picture at least 5 times or more,
so I dub Bloodsport 1 Gibb's first
major success in the action genre.(and
it's the first Gibb film I saw.)His
rugged look worked well; especially
when he competes in the tournament and
is covered in blood after a hard
fought victory. Now this is what i'm talking about! Looking
totally hot with long hair and tattoos his
"biker look" would carry over for the next
8 years or so.

She Spies review

I have not seen this movie but he
looks like how he did in
bloodsport 2. looking oh so sexy as a big time criminal named Michael, Gibb's role is over before it even begins. But some good did come out of this, because it was durring the Chicago filming he met Todd of todd's adventure beer and (as I said earlier)launched toddsbeer.com
8 years later he has a sweet, "gentle giant" look to him, which works well as he lands roles teen-comedy movies. This teen comedy showcased many fameous faces in cameos, (if you watch the dvd in commentary mode you can hear all sorts of fun insights that make the film a true gem--even though i have to admit when I first saw the tralier I thought I would never want to see a movie about skateboarding.)
anyway, as 'Scabby secrurity gaurd' (he looks like he fell asleep on a grill) his role is small but memorable.

2004-Lightning Bug

He has a seeminly new look, appropariate to the dramatic premise of the 2004 film. Lighting bugg is about a teenager who dreams of leaving his small town to become a hollywood makeup/effects designer, but there are people in his life who are less then supportive. but with a character name like 'Uncle Marvin' Gibb has to be one of good guys, right?
