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 .

You'll be seeing a lot more of me soon

My Overland Trip To Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Tall Actors Giant Life
Friday, 15 December 2006

Several months ago I went on a short holiday for a week to visit some of the other sites in the region, predominantly I wanted to visit Phnom Penh, Cambodia and have a look at the place in terms of a future base (home).

People who travel to one other country then espouse how great it is and how they want to live there the rest of their life, in my opinion, are making a mistake. What are they basing their judgement on? Experience with 2 countries out of hundreds? Get out and have a good look around before you make your decision on where in the world you want to live. Also note that a 2 day package tour does not show you what a country is like at all - it shows you 5 star hotels and a group of tourists taking photos.

So off I went - overland - to get a good look at Cambodia, Phnom Penh and the people....

Where in the world would you like to live? For me I need a warm climate to be happy, more so now than before.

As An Uncoordinated Child I Knew I Had To Do Something

Tall Actors Giant Life
Thursday, 07 December 2006

As a child I was very uncoordinated, whenever I played sports I could not hit the ball, catch the ball, or just about anything sports related. The only thing I could do was swim ok, and run long distance.

When we had sports at school I was always one of the last to be chosen in a team, nobody wanted an uncoordinated nerd on their team.

I did not like being uncoordinated, and here is how I went about changing that to become known widely as being very agile for my size....

Affirmation Statements - Most People Waste Their Time

Motivation Inspiration Success
Wednesday, 06 December 2006

Affirmation statements are short sentences you say over and over to impress their meaning upon your mind.

The reasoning behind  affirmation statements is that if you say certain words to yourself over and over the universe will attract those things to you and you will essentially get something for nothing - what rubbish, that is not how the world, nor affirmation statements work....

Tall Guys And Relationships / Finding a Girlfriend

Thursday, 16 November 2006

Being very tall I am often asked if it is hard to get a girlfriend. Yes it is. It is very hard to get 'A' girlfriend with so many offers.

Why would I not have a girlfriend if I wanted? I remember at school being teased about my height and that I would never get a girlfriend... then basketball became very popular where I lived... and so did basketball players...

Shortly after I discovered that girls like tall guys and my days of being single were over...

Think Your Life Is Bad? Email From Bradley And Inspiration From Stephen Hawking

Tall Actors Giant Life
Sunday, 12 November 2006

I received an email today from Brad M. from Australia, he has taken a new turn in life as before he was always depressed and thinking his life was bad.

I thought my life was bad too for a long time as a younger fellow. I could not see anyway outof my life at that point which held little hope for living the life that I wanted. But I always went to the gym, deep down I knew this was one way for me to take a small step forward everyday, even though I did not know where it would lead.

Read on, and read the incredible story of a man who cannot walk, talk or move 90% of his body yet he is one of the greatest men of all time. He is a living example of inspiration for the rest of us. Makes me feel like a fool for complaining when I was younger...
