Not the textured duck anymore.
Many descendants of Russian emigrants have built enviable careers in Hollywood. In this cohort was Michael Dudikoff, whose father flew across the ocean in search of a better life.
In the States, the emigrant met a girl of French-Canadian origin, who became his wife. In their marriage, the future Hollywood actor was born. Michael Dudikoff loved sports from a young age, especially iron. Being the owner of a toned, inflated body, he went into the modeling business. It was there that representatives of the cinema noticed him.
Soon Michael began to appear on the screen, but he got inconspicuous roles. The glory of the artist was provided by Chuck Norris, who refused to star in the action movie American Ninja. The role went to the little-known Dudikoff.
The picture made Michael a superstar and the idol of millions of women. They were crazy about his figure and piercing gaze. The actor was on horseback until the early 00s, after which he left the cinema.
Today, 68-year-old Dudikoff sometimes appears in films and TV shows, but there is no question of former glory. The star of the 80s has also changed in appearance – now he is a frail and scrawny uncle who is easily lost in the crowd. The years did not spare the former sex symbol.
