WHAT TOUGH GUY ACTOR’s first role was as a prison boxer in the 1985 movie Runaway Train? He got the role because, while working as an extra on the set, he was recognized as a champion lightweight and welterweight prison boxer by a fellow former San Quentin inmate. (Though previously convicted of armed robbery, his San Quentin sentence was for selling sugar to federal agents and calling it cocaine.)
