Tyler Mane is a multi-talented actor, who enjoys the challenges of playing characters who are intriguing, empathic, humorous, dramatic, deliciously evil, heroic and adventurous. His charismatic personality and innovative style of acting have afforded him the opportunity to pursue diversified roles that will entertain both motion picture and television audiences. Best known for his co-starring role as Sabretooth in “X-Men,” Tyler has a world-wide following of fans due to all his memorable roles in such blockbuster feature films as “Troy,” “The Devil’s Rejects,” “The Scorpion King,” “Joe Dirt” and “Black Mask II.” He has also co-starred in the epic 2005 mini-series “Hercules” for HBO/Hallmark and the Creature Feature, “How to Make a Monster” produced by Lou Arkoff and Stan Winston for Cinemax. He has also appeared on such television shows as “V.I.P.,” “Monk,” “Son of the Beach,” “Party of Five” and “My Boys.” Tyler Mane grew up in Saskatoon, Canada.

The 8 year-old, tall, skinny kid who was always picked on, enrolled in martial arts so he could defend himself. For the next 10 years, he immersed himself in karate, kung fu, tae kwan do and judo. At the age of 18, he played semi-pro football but his childhood dream of becoming a wrestler called to him. He began training in Calgary at the age of 19 for a profession in wrestling. That same year, Mane moved to Los Angeles to attend wrestling camp and it was then that he was approached for the first time about acting. From 1986-1999 Tyler wrestled throughout the world: South Africa, Germany, Austria, England, Japan, Mexico, Yugoslavia, etc. He wrestled for the WCW and the UWF as the mad, mean Big Sky with tag team partner Kevin Nash and as the evil Nitron. At the same time, Tyler Mane began to fulfill his other dream, acting. He began to study with acting coaches and attended acting workshops whenever possible so he would be taken seriously, and continues to study and hone his craft to this day. The transition from professional wrestler to actor was a pretty natural one, says Mane, who in reality stands 6’8”. “Wrestling is performed on the hardest stage in the world, the four sided kind where you can’t hide anything. It’s all out there for the world to see.

As a wrestler, you create a character in the ring. It’s a totally different persona which translates directly in acting for stage or screen.” Tyler had the opportunity to act on the stage in the 1992 San Diego production of “Turbo Tanzi.” Though he played the character of a wrestler it was a great education in the more classical style of acting that he would then parlay into his film roles. During his spare time, Tyler enjoys staying in shape and doing charity work. He says, “I believe that it’s important to be an example and give back to the community. It’s great to get out there and meet the kids you’re helping.” His favorite organizations are The West Wing Foundation, Ronald McDonald House,  The Heart Foundation and Lili Claire among many others.
