As, I am pretty sure, it was my day. Charles Wolf. Who died when I was 12. (He was this big bodybuilder) I remenber sitting watching a movie one late night as a teen. I think it was some old Viking movie or something. And out walks this big muscle guy in a loin-cloth and hits this big gong. I'm looking at this man and saying to myself, “that guy looks like my dad. Ah no, they all look alike back then with that greased hair. But, that guy really looks like him this time." But, I blew it off. Well, last year I go to a family reunion and my aunt (his sister) starts telling me this story about my dad going out to CA, with his best friend (Gene Wells) from the gym, for the Mr. American contest. The day before the contest they are on Muscle beach and this guy walks up to my dad and says; "I want you at the studio tomorrow to fill in as an extra and to shoot a promo. So, my dad blows off the contest and his best friend wins. At least that's what my Aunt says. From what I can tell he might have placed. The funny thing is, my dad was a better looking bodybuilder. At least from what I can tell from all the gym pictures I have of them. <br /> There are too many factors involved for this story to be misplaced. Although I have only seen this clip of my father one time, I am very aware of his physical appearance. To have my Aunt tell me this story, out of the blue, many years later seems only to back up my suspicion. Plus, I doubt my fater would have flew all the way out to CA., then not competed.<br /> Any help with this mater would be greatly appreciated as I have been trying to locate the clip or film for several months now.<br />Sincerely,<br />Carl Wolf.<br />Cwolflive@aol.com I believe there was at last one more man that hit the gong.
