Frank Charles Gradischnig III aka Chuck Gradi as Jugovich arm wrestles with Sylvester Stallone in "F.I.S.T." directed by Norman Jewison, 1978. Plot: Johnny Kovak (Stallone) joins the Teamsters trade-union in a local chapter in the 1930s and works his way up in the organization. As he climbs higher and higher his methods become more ruthless and finally senator Madison starts a campaign to find the truth about the alleged connections with the Mob.
This was Stallone's second film after his big break with "Rocky."
I saw this movie and believe it or not, I never recognized Chuck. Who would have expected to see the guy I knew all of the years before??
