"OK, I had to talk about him at some stage. You know who he is, and if you think you dont, you do, you just didnt know he was a wrestler at some stage. Norbert Grupe was born in 1940 in Berlin, and is famous for his role as Vigo the Carpathian in Ghostbusters II as well as a henchman in Die Hard. At any given stage of his life, he was a pastryman, a meatpacker, stevedore, butcher, longshoreman, a waiter, a professional boxer with a record of 30-11-6, a bodybuilder who became acquainted with Arnold Schwarzenegger and a professional wrestler in a tag team with his father, first as a viking, then as a more or less Nazi nobleman. Im not going to claim he was a saint or anything. He hung out with pimps and the Hells Angels gang in Hamburgs Red Light District, had numerous affairs with men and women, abused drugs and alcohol, sold haschich which led him to prison, and overall lived a life of excess and danger that no one should aspire to have. But, in an industry known for wild tales, the one of Norbert Grupe is certainly up there. Dont hesitate to look him up, theres a lot of stuff I left out because I only got so many characters for a comment here."
