However, another more familiar Beastmaster guy was named Tony Todd. He looks so much like Mr. Amos, that he even appeared in Beastmaster III: Eye of Braxus. Yes, there really are 3 Beastmaster movies. He looks very familiar because he appears in several recent and current movies.
His film credits include: Armageddon, The Rock, The Wishmaster, Candyman 1 and 2, Lean on Me, and Platoon. He appeared in the video for "Santeria" by Sublime, and even had a recurring role on Star Trek: The Next Generation as the Klingon Kurn.
Remember, folks, this page is here solely for the record. If you find it totally crazy that someone would do research on the Beastmaster guy, you're probably right. However, if the mood strikes you right, slink on over to The Internet Movie Database for info on every movie ever made (almost), and even some yet to be released.
