Dolph Lundgren Biography
“Ivan Drago”
Appearing in: Rocky IV
Dolph Lundgren made an imposing film debut in more ways that simply portraying Ivan Drago, the fierce Russian boxer who challenges Rocky for the world championship. Drago is indeed a worthy successor to Rocky’s previous adversaries, Apollo Creed and Clubber Lang. Finding the right actor to match the physical prowess and athletic ability of Drago was no easy task but, eventually, Sylvester Stallone found his man in Swedish-born actor Dolph Lundgren.
The eldest son of four children, the six-foot-six, 240 pound blonde haired, blue eyed hunk was born in Stockholm in 1957 where he attended elementary and high school.
MASTERS DEGREE IN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
In the early 1980’s, Dolph traveled abroad on scholarship and studied at Washington State University in South Carolina. In 1982, he received a scholarship to complete his Masters degree in Chemical Engineering at the University of Sydney in Australia.
