As one of the first to successfully make the leap from oily, near-naked flexing and posing to oily, near-naked flexing and posing in front of a camera, Reeves paved the way for one of our greatest modern movie stars. Yes, it was Steve's ability to overcome his unfortunate voice (picture an adenoidal 7-year-old girl in mild tantrum) that inspired another world-class athlete to step onto a sound stage and into our hearts. Say a little prayer, America, for without Steve Reeves, there would be no Lou Ferrigno.
Steve Reeves was never played in a game.
Every year. This happens EVERY year. You look to start the year off with someone you can REALLY make fun of. Someone crazy, or self absorbed, or stupid, or whatever. We get THIS guy. Yeah - is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but in the section titled "The guys who never did anything dangerous - ever". Gonna be a good year.
