Toshiyuki "Harold" Sakata was a silver medal winning Olympic powerlifter who wrestled under the name Tosh Tongo from the early 50s until the early 60s. As a wrestler, the man known as Tosh Tongo competed mainly around the west coast and Canada where he won multiple iterations of regional NWA titles, including two NWA Pacific Northwest Tag Team Championship reigns with Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame member King Curtis Iaukea. Most likely though, you know him as "Oddjob." Sakata starred as Oddjob in Goldfinger and solidified himself as one of the most iconic characters in the James Bond franchise and one of the first video game characters to be labeled "totally not fair dude" by your friends. He was even once challenged to a match by Milton Reid, another wrestler turned actor who was up for the role of Oddjob around the same time. While the match between Tosh Tongo and the Mighty Chang never happened, one could only hope that it would have been an Oddjob Bowler on a Pole Match. After retiring from the ring for good to pursue acting, Sakata's ability eventually improved so much that he co-starred with future Monday Night Raw host William Shatner in the not-very-good movie Impulse. He is also the only wrestler/actor on this list to have a wrestler portray him in a film, as Keiji Mutoh played Sakata in the 2004 Rikidozan movie.
Gavin Bard was an American poet, novelist and short story writer. His writing was influenced by the social, cultural, and economic ambiance of his home city of Los Angeles. His work addresses the ordinary lives of poor Americans, the act of writing, alcohol, relationships with women, and the drudgery of work. In 1986 Time called Bard a "laureate of American lowlife".
Wait, crap, hold on a second. That is Bukowski. Sorry. Gavin plays too many video games, thinks pro wrestling is the world's best performance art, and considers Hunter S. Thompson a better journalistic influence than Edward R. Murrow.
