Erland was a loverly guy by all intense and purpose.. the proverbial 'gentle giant' weighing in at 6'6" and nearly 400lbs.
He juggled a few careers in his life, Wrestling, Computer programmer for Citibank. Actor and also an experienced operatic singer as where both his brother & sister.
He died of heart failure in September 1987, a few months after finishing work on 'The Running Man' film. He was 34 years old.
What people need to understand is the best talent of an actor is how they pull off expressions. Delivery of dialogue is a great skill, but to pull off a fake expression [and I say fake meaning it's not real, it's planned] takes a great actor.
When ever I watch tv or movies, I always look out for the tiniest face pulls or expressions and think, I don't know if I ever could do that. lol
Beverley Hills Cop is another one that comes in this category.
He also played the leader of a gang called The Baldies in a movie called "The Wanderers", it's about street gangs in 1960's Brooklyn. I think it was Ken Wahl's first movie. Also, the guy who played Meat in Porky's was in it.
Believe it or not Erland Van Lidth Jeude who played Grossberger was an opera singer and he also played on the movie The Running Man which was his last movie. He died of an heart attack in 1987 at the age of 34.
