Tall Aussie Actor, Conan Stevens - "World's Biggest Action Hero"

7ft Tall Actor Conan Stevens, official website. I am an actor, scriptwriter, computer geek, non-competitive bodybuilder and ex-professional wrestling champion.

Since I was 16 years old I have wanted to become an Action Movie Star . I joined the Army, I did Karate, some Freestyle Fighting, medieval fighting , and Pro-Wrestling to learn to fight both real and staged combat. I put on 78kg (171lbs) of muscle , danced with a national Ballet and wrote and  co-starred in my own successful cinema release action/comedy movie. Besides a 7 year diversion due to a debilitating nerve injury and a few judicial / military coup delays, everything I have done has had this end goal in mind though I didn't know how to get there.

This website is a weekly chronicle of the struggles and experiences I have had from being a small time actor in Australia, my move into the more active Asian movie scene and my hopes to make a final breakthrough into the 'A' grade US International market - now achieved (Game of Thrones)(Spartacus)(The Hobbit) - and then onto starring in my own movies - and of course finally (after over 20 years) getting paid appropriately.

On top of all that I personally made this website and I write all the content to market myself Internationally, grow a grass roots fan base, to provide an income to help me survive between jobs and to help others follow their dreams by detailing how I went about it - completely ignoring the standard advice doled out in heaps by average achievers who live lives they dislike at best.

The website is now huge with more than 1000 pages of useful information on acting , fitness, muscle gain and living successfully - stay and have a look around if you enjoy the site BOOKMARK me and come back later.

Remember if I can make sky high childhood day dreams come true then you can too .

Conan Style Christmas 2012

Tall Actors Giant Life
Tuesday, 25 December 2012

Well it seems Christmas has rolled around yet again, and I have pulled my finger out and am writing on my blog. Amazing.

So what does a Conan style Christmas entail?

Well it started with sitting on a tropical beach eating breakfast burritos.

How much better could it get?

Well a lunch time check of my email revealed an email from a friend in the industry asking if I'd be interested in a new movie project he is involved in, the offer was fine, the people are good, the role is likely to be interesting, and the other actors I'll be working with are well known in their market segments.

All in all a great Christmas. Now I'm off to do the ex-pat Christmas thing and heading over to a western run pub for tons of western food and tons more local drink with a bunch of foreigners who also left their home countries in search of a better life.

Cheers, have fun and enjoy today regardless of current stresses.

Vikingdom Trailer Set For August 2012

Acting Movies TV Film
Saturday, 25 August 2012

Today I noticed this exchange by Dominic Purcell (Prison Break, Killer Elite, Vikingdom!) and Vikingdom Producer Norman Abdul Halim over at Dom's fansite.

In the exchange dated back in May, Norman says that a trailer for VIkingdom will be release this August, seeing as it is now the 26th that would mean a trailer release is imminent if things have progressed according to schedule (which is rare in the film industry with so many variables).

Either way I think we'll be seeing a trailer for Vikingdom released shortly.

Want To Be Involved In A New Web Series?

Acting Movies TV Film
Monday, 30 April 2012

An associate is Producing a new web series described as... well here are their own words:

The Clandestine is a comedy webseries about a group of geeks who form a secret outlaw motorcycle club.

It's Sons of Anarchy meets The Office. The show takes place in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and takes the piss out of nerds and motorbikers... and old people... and everything else.

The show features killer motorbikes, sexy ladies, geeks doing dangerous stuff, a great sense of humour, and a soundtrack packed with music from the best up and coming bands in the Irish rock scene. www.theclandestine.tv

Geeks by day, outlaws in the disabled parking during their lunch hour, I think this has a good chance to take off.

I have supported them with a pledge and possibly some other help, if you are interested in being involved in a new series that has potential to take off then pop over to their kickstarter page and get involved for $10 or more.

I have been asked quite a few times recently by fans of HBO's hit TV series Game of Thrones (GoT) if I would be back for the second season. Rather than continue to answer individual emails and messages I thought I'd write the answer up here because it'll save me answering individual emails and because I need to stop being so lazy regarding updating my website.

Friday, 09 March 2012

10pm in the USA tonight the Spartacus Episode that I am in goes to air. You an watch the preview here, if you look carefully you will notice me very briefly in the mix (seen below in a screen capture from the teaser), hopefully you'll notice me more than briefly in the show though.

****SPOILER**** Don't look at the photo in detail or read the following line if you have not been watching the show to date.

Spartacus Vengeance ft. Conan Stevens on 9th Mar 2012 on STARZ

Friday, 02 March 2012

Spartacus Vengeance episode 207 will air about 2 weeks later in New Zealand on "The BOX" network.

Finally after waiting only 6 months since the end of filming and announced my Spartacus debut, 7 months since I signed the Spartacus contract, and only 8 months since I first auditioned I will be appearing on STARZ, the US national cable network, for Spartacus Vengence.

And of course my original contact with some Spartacus casting people was over a year before that. Work hard do I? Patience Have I? Well it was better than the 3 years it took from start to finish with "Game of Thrones" with HBO.

This is my biggest role to air yet, and as you can guess I am bloody excited about it....

Steve Jobs Replies To A Hater

Motivation Inspiration Success
Thursday, 26 January 2012

I found this quote today on www.nannystate.com.au from Steve Jobs:

Steve Jobs of Apple to a critical questioner “By the way, what have you done that’s so great? Do you create anything, or just criticise others’ work and belittle their motivations”.

So next when someone starts to put you down, question your goals, or is just negative when it should really be no concern of theirs maybe you'd like to quote Mr. Jobs.

Don't let anyone destroy your dreams.

Vikingdom: I Am Thor

Acting Movies TV Film
Tuesday, 01 November 2011

Vikingdom, a new movie by Epic Pictures, surprisingly about Vikings has me in a leading role as Thor.

What do vikings do? Murder, rape, plunder, go to war, ride in dragon headed longships and terrorise all of Europe for centuries - oh and discover the "New World" long before Columbus, etc.

Thor? Isn't he the lovable, goofy god from the recent superhero movie of the same name? No.

vikingdom-conan stevens_poster

Definitely not. The mythical Thor was a different person, a lot different, and in Vikingdom they are protraying him closer to his mythical roots in a role that is less acting for me and more an extrapolation of my own personality.

Not to mention that I already have years of experience playing the role of Thor.....

Conan Scores Another Major Win?

Acting Movies TV Film
Wednesday, 26 October 2011

Aspiring actors: remember nothing is sure until the contracts are signed.

Now having laid my disclaimer - Has Conan scored another major win? Of course I have or I'd have nothing to write about.

What is it? Well until the contracts are done I will not say but I think it is what would be termed a leading role in a decent budget movie that is (again) highly suitablefor me - funny how I tend to target these movies/roles exclusively isn't it?

For now I'll say I've flown to another country, have had meetings and everyone, especially me, seems very pleased and things are moving ahead.

 

Finished Filming On Spartacus - Spectacular

Acting Movies TV Film
Wednesday, 17 August 2011

I finished filming on Spartacus Season 02 today (hopefully - waiting for the rushes to be checked)  and I have to say this is going to be an awesome piece of footage. The other actors I worked with were great upcoming stars, the stuntmen easy going, the Directors very approachable and helped me be my best. My makeup artist went beyond the call of duty, the Producers looked after my ridiculous dietary requirements, AD's were so helpful, as were catering and the Doof Doof boys. In fact everyone made my work very enjoyable and hassle free.

Fantastic. It was such a pleasure working as part of the team all pulling in the same direction....

Spartacus Season 02 To Feature Conan Stevens

Acting Movies TV Film
Sunday, 31 July 2011

I can now formally announce that I have signed with the Starz TV series SPARTACUS. As such I am now again in New Zealand preparing for my role during The Hobbit hiatus.

As a bonus today I recieved the six episodes of the prequel season of Spartacus - Gods Of The Arena to watch as background information. Not being a big watcher of TV personally, and not having access to the program at home in Asia this is the first I have seen of the series. (Season 02 was delayed and a prequel made in it's stead. So even though this is Season 02 it is the 3rd season of the series that has been made).

And I must say that I am impressed. I have watched episodes 01 to 04 straight with only breaks to cook food, and by the looks of it I will watch the entire season in one sitting - a very rare occurance, even for professional reasons.

Spartacus itself is another "jewel in the crown" of my credit list so to speak, in the last year now that is "Game Of Thrones", "The Hobbit" and now "Spartacus" - all pretty reputable Western credits that add considerable weight to my existing list....

Conan Signs Contract For Another US TV Series

Tuesday, 05 July 2011

Well that says just about all I can say at the moment, you'll just have to wait until I get the go ahead from the publicity departmentto get anymore info.

I think I can safely say that I am very happy to have passed a 'proper' acting audition again, this one with a extra difficulty twist and a short preparation time, and did not just get the role based on my stunt abilities or my physique.

 

2 New TV Series Auditions For Conan

Tuesday, 07 June 2011

2 new auditions for ongoing TV series this week?

Well not really. One TV series contacted me directly and asked if I was available but unfortunately being on the opposite side of the world and working (for a really nice change) prevented me working on that TV series just now, maybe something will eventuate later.

The other TV series I made contact with quiet a while ago after an actor friend gave me a heads up about some castings they were holding last year.....

I AM (AZOG-X) BOLG IN PETER JACKSON'S THE HOBBIT

Acting Movies TV Film
Wednesday, 18 May 2011

*Update: Between initial casting and final edit my character was renamed BOLG, who in the Tolkein book is the son of Azog.

I am to play Azog in Peter Jacksons Lord Of The Rings (LOTR) two part prequel "The Hobbit" based on the book by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Movie Legend Peter Jackson And Wannabe Legend Conan Stevens 

Since I am under a strict NDA I cannot discuss "The Hobbit" or Azog so you won't be getting any inside behind the scenes stuff, Peter does that anyway, but you will get a lot of inside info on how an actor feels after 24 years of struggle and now working in a major "Hollywood" movie... wait should that be THE major Hollywood movie this year.... in fact wouldn't this possibly be the biggest movie since..... well since ... Lord Of The Rings?

A big budget movie according to many websites - definitely much bigger than the US$500,000 budget for the movie my mates and I produced, directed, filmed, choreographed, etc

Yes, I am very happy. Since I cannot talk about it yet, let us see what Peter himself had to say about it....
