Timeline

1923

Tall, massively built, imposing-looking blond Gordon Mitchell (early on dubbed the "The Bronze Giant") was one of those perfectly developed bodybuilders who jumped on the Steve Reeves bandwagon and hightailed it to Italy to seek movie stardom as a Herculean strongman. Born Charles Allen Pendleton in Denver, Colorado on July 29, 1923, and raised in Inglewood, California, Mitchell served in WWII and, at one point, became a prisoner of war at the Battle of the Bulge. After the war, Gordon went to USC in Los Angeles under the G. I. bill and became a high school teacher and guidance counselor. A fitness nut with an incredible physique, he soon became part of the Venice, California "Muscle Beach" crowd and it took over. He literally flexed his way into the entertainment business as part of Mae West's musclebound revue. He toured everywhere with Ms. West from Las Vegas to the Latin Quarter with other "abs"normal actor wannabes Mickey Hargitay, Brad Harris and Reg Lewis.

1956

In between, Gordon obscurely posed as beefcake in such films as The Ten Commandments (1956), Li'l Abner (1959) and Spartacus (1960), which, of course, did little to advance his acting career.

1961

In 1961, after Reeves' Le fatiche di Ercole (1958) proved a box-office smash, the non-Italian-speaking Mitchell, among others, headed off to Europe to compete on the peplum film pedestal. With his fierce and progressively hardened features, Gordon wound up playing both hero and villain, appearing regularly in the popular, if poorly dubbed, sandal-and-spear epics. In the usual over-the-top style.

Gordon started off as the title strongman in Atlas Against the Cyclops (1961); and went on to play the Roman warrior General Metellus in The Centurion (1961); massively muscled hero Obro in The Giant of Metropolis (1961); Pluto, the God of War in Vulcan, Son of Jupiter (1962); the villainous pirate Hamar in Caesar Against the Pirates (1962); the title hero Fury of Achilles (1962); the barbarous villain Brenno in Brennus, Enemy of Rome (1963); a slave and co-hero in Gli schiavi più forti del mondo (1964); evil tyrant Omar in Simbad contro i sette saraceni (1964); villainous assassin Sven in Erik, the Viking (1965); and the villainous Hunding in Il tesoro della foresta pietrificata (1965);Gordon developed a strong core of fans during this brief reign.

1965

When the film fad wore off by 1965, Mitchell, unlike many of his pectoral partners who chose to drop out of sight, moved on and muscled his way into more than 100 additional films.

1966

Many of his later 60's and 70's offerings were further down the credits list in the "spaghetti western" or "giallo mystery" categories -- staying true to the country that made him a star -- Three Graves for a Winchester (1966), Uccidi o muori (1966) (Kill or Be Killed), È mezzanotte. . .

1990
