Ralf Rudolf Moeller (born January 12, 1959 in Recklinghausen, Germany) is a German actor and former competitive bodybuilder.
Ralf Moeller began bodybuilding at age 17 and was the German Champion by 1984. He competed in the 1988 Mr. Olympia alongside Lee Haney, Shawn Ray and other notable champions. He is the tallest bodybuilding champion to date standing 197 cm (6 feet, 6 inches) in height. Ralf began a film career in 1989 with the film Cyborg. In 1992, he appeared in Universal Soldier with Dolph Lundgren and Jean-Claude van Damme.
His two biggest mainstream film roles to date are Ridley Scott's Gladiator, appearing alongside his friend Russell Crowe, and in 2002's The Scorpion King. Besides these two movies, he has played the leading character in The Viking Sagas alongside his bodybuilding/actor-friend Sven-Ole Thorsen, and also played Conan the Barbarian in the tv-series Conan. The show aired in 1997-98, and the premise was that Conan, accompanied his three sidekicks, was chosen by the god Crom to fight and vanquish the evil Hissah Zul and to become king.
He has also collaborated with German trance/techno group E Nomine on a number of their albums.
Sometimes his name is written as Ralph Moeller.
