Joe Robinson –
Actor, wrestler, poor-man’s Schwarzenegger of the 50’s & 60’s
May 31, 1927 – July 3, 2017.
Aged 90 years.
Most recognized for: “Tiger Joe” was an EHC wrestler who caught the acting bug. After being featured in a fitness documentary (a la “Pumping Iron,”) he started landing roles in shitty sword-and-sandal flicks, where he was shirtless 90% of the time. The peak of his visibility was his role as Bond villain Peter Franks in “Diamonds are Forever.” Diamonds may be, Joe… but you, not so much.
