Timeline
The Future Italian epic star was registered as Roy Park in 1928, but little Reg was soon re-named after his father Reginald Park Snr. , a well-known gymnasium proprietor in Leeds and owner of the Reg Park Barbell Company. Reg Jnr.
played reserve team football for Leeds United before turning to body-building in 1946.
He finished Mr Universe runner-up to Future film rival Steve Reeves in 1950, then won the title outright in 1951, 1958 and 1965.
After marrying South African-born Mareon Isaacs in Johannesburg in 1952, the Parks moved permanently to South Africa where Reg ran a chain of fitness studios.
Park was the first bodybuilder to bench press 500 lbs, and the second man in history to succeed with that weight. He achieved the lift on his 25th birthday, just 10 days after Canadian Olympic Weightlifter Doug Hepburn became the first to Bench Press 500 pounds on May 28, 1953. Hepburn outweighed Park by 60 pounds.
Father of environmentalist and tree-planter Jeunesse Park (born 1954) and Montreal Olympics swimmer Jon-Jon Park (born 1957).
In December 1960 he was invited to Rome to star in two back-to-back Hercules movies, Ercole alla conquista di Atlantide (1961) followed immediately by Hercules in the Haunted World (1961). Since these were directed by intellectually acclaimed veterans Vittorio Cottafavi and Mario Bava, Reg Park himself became something of a cult personality in the Italian epic genre. His friend and protege Arnold Schwarzenegger considered Park to be the best of the "peplum" heroes.
He was Arnold Schwarzenegger's bodybuilding inspiration due to impressing the young man with his performance in Hercules in the Haunted World (1961). Arnold trained with him in the late 60s and actually lived with him and his family for a time in their home in South Africa. It was he who urged Arnold into taking the Hercules in New York (1970) film role as a money-making proposition.
At age 42, he competed against Arnold Schwarzenegger in a 1970 body-building contest and was edged out in a closely fought contest - losing the Mr. Universe title to Schwarzenegger by only 1/2 a point. In his last physique competition Park once again placed 2nd at the 1973 Mr. Universe at age 45. Park always maintained that he trained and competed steroid free.
