Actor Born: 1958 in Compton, CA Biography:Hardly diminutive, Tom "Tiny" Lister Jr. has made his imposing presence felt in a multitude of films since the mid-'80s. Originally a professional wrestler nicknamed Zeus and Z-Gangsta, the 6' 5" 275 lb. Lister retired in 1985 to pursue an acting career. After making his movie debut in director "Hal Ashby"'s final film "8 Million Ways to Die" (1985), Lister spent the rest of the 1980s working primarily in A and B movies heavy on action, including "Runaway Train" (1985), "Beverly Hills Cop II" (1987), and "Walter Hill"'s "Extreme Prejudice" (1987). Lister earned his first starring role playing his wrestling alter ego Zeus in the "Hulk Hogan" vehicle "No Holds Barred" (1989). Lister continued his run of B films in the early '90s, as well as appearing in "Walter Hill"'s higher profile actioner "Trespass" (1992) with future co-star "Ice Cube", and "Jean-Claude Van Damme"'s "Universal Soldier" (1992).
