Heartbreak Ridge

[ottomun6]

Somebody help me!!! I can't get my eyes back in my head after seeing Heartbreak Ridge (1986)with Clint Eastwood. I just happened to be channel surfing and saw Clint trying to order a bunch of misfit recruits when suddenly they part and bring their heavy artillery- a guy by the name of Swede Johansen. (probably about 6'4" 280 lbs of muscle) This guy was not only huge and buffed, but he had his shirt off and his shorts were too small for his thick thighs and glutes!! They got into a quick fight that he lost, but I can only imagine that he HAD to have split those shorts a couple of times in the fight scene takes!
I only wish I was on the set to help him squeeze in and out of those tight shorts

I tried IMDB, but there isn't much there (no pics)

The actor was a very hulked out Pete Koch in his earlier days. I have never been able to find internet pics either. He always looked hot, even in such movies as "Dinosaur City" and "Loverboy."

hi guys! speaking of pete koch, i actually used to work at the talent agency in l.a. that he was signed by. this was a few years ago, and let me tell you he's stunningly handsome and masculine in person! wheww! he looks nothing like he did in heartbreak ridge, but he's still pretty built! very tall about 6 foot 4, i would guess he weighs now around 230 plus.

whenever he would see him in our agency in the lobby, i would try not stare and drool! he would always be wearing skintight jeans, and like plaid shirts buttoned down to like the 3 button, and man when he walked!! totally masculine and confident and an utterly sexy strut!!!! upclose his hair is feathered and light brown with gold highlights and his eyes are blue and he has those perfect cheekbones and jawline! what a man! he at the time was driving a light blue convertible, and i know he lived on an apartment in santa monica.

anyway, a total masculine walking wet dream! yeah, i too love the part in heartbreak ridge when clint knocks him down ( yeah, like in real life pete would beat the crap out of old man eastwood!) where he slowly gets up and those too small khaki shorts that show off his huge, huge legs and ass are about to ride up his ass! just beautiful!!!

Pete Koch is now a personal trainer.

While still in very good shape, he looks like he is half the size he was in Heartbreakridge.

When I found the website I at first thought it was the wrong Pete Koch.

Oh well, he is still good looking.

Very nice find!! Thanks Willfrog
The "Actor" selection shows in in the movie with Clint!
-Thomas, I can almost see him in my mind, moving those bowlingball buns as he walks!

I believe this is what you are looking for

The scene in question

You know it's funny, I did the same thing. my parents were watching it and as soon as that part came on I was hooked. What a beast Pete Koch was in this film and once I saw him I was wanting to see more. Another great scene in this film was the mud puddle matchup were all the men were chearing on Clint, shirtless of course. After seeing it on TV it has made me want to go out and buy it for my own enjoyment ( if you know what I mean )
