Career
Career
Moeller began bodybuilding at age 17 and was the German national champion by 1984. He is one of the tallest bodybuilding champions to date, standing at and weighing 133,81 kilos (295 lbs) in 1988. He won the heavyweight class of the 1986 IFBB World Championships, and is still the tallest competitor ever in the Mr. Olympia (he finished last in 1988). He entered his movie career in 1989 with the film Cyborg. In 1992, he appeared in Universal Soldier with Dolph Lundgren and Jean-Claude Van Damme. In 1993, he played the villain Brakus opposite Phillip Rhee and Eric Roberts in Best of the Best 2. His two biggest mainstream film roles to date are Ridley Scott's Gladiator, and 2002's The Scorpion King. Besides these two movies, he has played the leading character in The Viking Sagas, and Conan the Barbarian in the TV series Conan. The show aired in 1997–1998 with the premise that Conan, and his three sidekicks, were chosen by the god Crom to fight and vanquish the evil Hissah Zul and become king. In The Viking Sagas (1996), The Bad Pack (1997), and Gladiator (2000), Moeller appeared alongside fellow bodybuilder Sven-Ole Thorsen. In 2003, he had a cameo appearance in the music video of "Maria (I Like it Loud)", by Scooter, a German techno music band. Moeller went on to appear in El padrino (2004), sequel to The Bad Pack, once again playing Special Agent Kurt Mayers. He played Hammacher in the 2006 film Beerfest.
