Growing up in Austria, Roland Kickinger had a great desire to see the world and make something important out of himself. So he set his sights on America.

He had boundless energy and found himself in the gym working out incessantly. Before he knew it, he was competing in bodybuilding events. Soon, he would claim the title of Mr. Universe.

Wanting more, Roland made the move to Hollywood and soon found roles in TV and movies. Does Roland’s story sound familiar? It’s the same path traveled by Arnold Schwarzenegger! Only Roland has no plans to run for political office -- at least, not yet!

Still, he's a fascinating, intelligent and articulate actor looking to put his own unique stamp on his work.
