Arnold Vosloo was born in 1962 in Africa. He started his career by playing in a theater in Pretoria. He received several Dalro awards for his roles in theater plays such as “Hamlet”, “Don Juan” and “Twelfth Night”. He made his debut on the big screen in 1983 in the film “Funny People II”, where he played himself. A year later, he appeared in the production of “Little Brother to the Shore”, for which he also received the Dalro Award.
“The Mummy” premiered 24 years ago. Arnold Vosloo played the titular monster
Arnold’s career continued to develop. He performed in theaters around the world and got roles in subsequent films. In 1988, he received American citizenship and starred in such hits as “Steel Dawn” and “Journey to Paradise”. However, his greatest popularity came with the role of the priest Imhotep in the films “The Mummy” from 1999 and “The Mummy Returns” from 2001.
Imhotep was the titular mummy who was awakened after 3,000 years. Vosloo lost a few pounds for the role because he knew he would be wearing a skimpy costume. He did not use a stuntman and played all the scenes himself.
