Kirk LaSalle
Born to a single mother, Kirk is the grandson of Hollywood stuntman Ross T. Sherman, actor Kirk LaSalle is as much known for his action roles and movie stunts as his physical comedy on set. He spent his early years moving from coast to coast, growing up in the urban setting of Los Angeles, California, the South Bay Area and Upstate New York. LaSalle's propensity for fighting in and out of school eventually grew into a passion for fitness training and various martial arts. He started his individual Martial Arts training with his (Sifu) Uncle Mark Hines at the age of 7, where he began to learn Kung Fu and eventually studied boxing and Tae Kwon Do, something he would later use in his work as a Fitness Professional and emerging movie stuntman. As a youngster with a dream of one day starring in an action film, LaSalle would often skip school and spend hours watching movies at a local Southern California theater. Throughout high school and college he began writing short stories and sketch comedies that he would perform in front of friends and family. Later he would gain some experience as a stage hand at The Great New York State Fair and roadie for his father's band, singer John Puma. After a successful 12 year career as a Fitness Professional on both coasts and over 10 years as Network/Systems Engineer, he decided to go after his boyhood dreams of acting. In 2004, LaSalle officially began his acting career in television commercials for Kinney Drugs, Plainville Farms, FYE Stores and the Turning Stone Resort and Casino. After four years of acting alongside his career in technology, he made the decision to become a full-time movie actor. Since then, he has appeared in many independent films, as well as larger studio productions, featured alongside actors such as Erica Leerhsen (Texas Chainsaw Massacre - 2003) and Nick Stahl (Terminator 3, Carnivale). When he's not traveling between production work in New York and L.A., LaSalle continues to collaborate with other filmmakers as a writer, editor and producer. He is also the founder of the Salt City Actors Group.

Kirk Morris
One of the many massive men of peplum who dominated popular Italian sword-and-sandal epics of the early 1960s, Italian Kirk Morris (né Adriano Bellini) was born in Venice on August 26, 1942. A gondolier and winner of the 1961 "Mr. Italia" bodybuilding contest at the time he was discovered by an Italian movie producer, Kirk was immediately plucked from the canals and greased-up runway for a go at campy muscleman stardom. Director Tanio Boccia chose Kirk for the title role in Il trionfo di Maciste (1961) (The Triumph of Maciste) and the slightly boyish-looking, pearly-toothed neophyte making a fine impression on camera. Deemed thereafter a perfect speciMAN to showcase their low-budget spectacles, Kirk proved a fitting beefcake hero to help offset the silly special effects and poorly dubbed dialogue. If one was to try and distinguish Kirk from the other absurdly-muscled actor/bodybuilders around at the time (Steve Reeves, Gordon Scott, Dan Vadis, Ed Fury, Gordon Mitchell, Reg Park, Alan Steel, Brad Harris, Mark Forest, Richard Harrison, Sergio Ciani, et al.), he frequently dyed his pompadour-styled hair from dark to blond and possessed a somewhat sulky resemblance to Elvis Presley. Other than that, his stoic posturings as Hercules, Samson and Maciste were no better or worse than the other bronzed and brawny "biceptuals. Kirk portrayed Maciste, one of the sons of Hercules, in several other movies -- Maciste contro Ercole nella valle dei guai (1961), Maciste all'inferno (1962) (aka Maciste in Hell), Maciste contro i cacciatori di teste (1963), Maciste alla corte dello zar (1964) and La valle dell'eco tonante (1964). The mythological plots, usually set in ancient Egypt, Greece or Rome, were notoriously formulaic -- saving damsels in distress, freeing slaves, restoring thrones to their rightful rulers, battling evil queens and kings, and defeating life-threatening serpents, beasts, witches and demons. While his hero's name often changed, Kirk's mission was almost always the same -- flex and save. He portrayed Samson in Le chevalier de Pardaillan (1962); Sansone in Sansone contro i pirati (1963) (Samson Against the Pirates); Hercules himself in Ercole sfida Sansone (1963); Sandar Khan in I predoni della steppa (1964); Anthar, son of Hercules in Anthar l'invincibile (1964); Nadir in Il dominatore del deserto (1964); Ercole in Maciste il vendicatore dei Maya (1965) (Maciste, Avenger of the Mayans); and Kadir in La magnifica sfida (1965); By 1966, Italian spectacles fell out of favor and lost its core audience. While Kirk would continue to find filming throughout the rest of the decade, most were in featured roles. He played a scientist who gets romantically involved with a voluptuous female alien in the silly-plotted sci-fi adventure 2+5: Missione Hydra (1966), and then played ill-fated bad guy and gunslinger named Ringo in the Terence Hill "spaghetti western" Little Rita nel West (1967). Kirk went back to playing one last top-billed hero as Jeff Smart, who seeks revenge against a Mexican gang in the "spaghetti western" Sapevano solo uccidere (1968) (I'll Die for Vengeance). The film also featured his bodybuilding comrades Alan Steele and Gordon Mitchell. Kirk ended his movie career with the Italian/German action drama Sette baschi rossi (1969) and as a Scottish soldier in the Italian combat story I 7 di Marsa Matruh (1970). Kirk eventually migrated to the United States and went into the advertising field. Years later, however, he returned to Italy and the movies -- but this time as a producer.
