Vladimir Kulich, a towering 6ft 5 (195.6 cm) Czech-born Canadian actor, leveraged his commanding height to embody intimidating characters throughout his career.
His imposing stature shone in roles like Buliwyf in The 13th Warrior, the villain in Red Scorpion 2, and fierce warriors in Ironclad, The Equalizer, Angel, and Vikings. As The Beast in Angel, Kulich's height became freakish with added boots: "I’m 6’5”, and the boots were like 6”, so I was like 6’11”, walking around… Freakish."
Relocating from Prague to Montreal after his parents' divorce fueled his resilient path in acting.
