BIOGRAPHY: Big, brawny and imposing actor Steve Sandor was born on February 18, 1937 in Brooklyn, New York and grew up in the Greenfield neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Sandor was a steel worker and trained sentry dogs while serving as an Air Force Officer in the U.S. Air Force prior to pursuing an acting career in the late 60s. 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 alike. His most noteworthy film roles include scruffy biker Apache in the fun "Hell's Angels '69," unstable drifter Billy Joe in "The Only Way Home," traumatized Vietnam veteran Ollie Hand in "The No Mercy Man," wishy-washy private eye Larry Evans in the splendidly gritty crime drama gem "Bonnie's Kids," arrogant heavyweight wrestling champion Jack 'The White Knight' Braden in the offbeat made-for-TV movie "Mad Dog;" memorably wild and scary as Stanley, a hostile biker who antagonizes Stacy Keach in a bar in the terrific cult favorite "The Ninth Configuration," the titular scrappy anti-hero in the cruddy post-nuke sci-fi/action dud "Stryker," and legendary rough'n'tumble frontiersman James Bowie in the short feature "Alamo: The Price of Freedom." Moreover, Steve was the voice of mysterious heroic warrior Dark Wolf in Ralph Bakshi's animated fantasy adventure treat "Fire and Ice." In addition, Sandor did guest spots on such TV series as "Star Trek," "Gunsmoke," "Ironside," "The Streets of San Francisco," "Baretta," "Starsky and Hutch," "Charlie's Angels," "Fantasy Island," "CHiPs," "Three's Company," "Vegas$," "T.J. Hooker," "The A-Team," "The Fall Guy," "Knight Rider," and "Hunter." Steve Sandor suddenly stopped acting in the late 90s and has apparently retired from the profession.
TRIVIA:
- It was revealed in the original screenplay for Fire and Ice (1983) that Sandor's character, Dark Wolf, and the evil sorceress Juliana had once been lovers and that Lord Nekron, the film's villain, was their son, and this was meant to provide Dark Wolf with his motivation for fighting them as well as explaining why, in the end, he alone was able to defeat Nekron. However, this was not featured in the finished film, a change director Ralph Bakshi claims he was not aware of.
- Trained sentry dogs as an Air Policeman in the U.S. Air Force.
- Spent time as a steelworker in his native Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
