Tor Johnson used the ring name Super Swedish Angel to distinguish himself from Nils Phillip Olafsson who used the ring name Swedish Angel. However, he continued to make appearances on television and made a number of commercials. His film career ended in the early 1960s, after he appeared in a string of low-budget, poorly-rated films. In the same year, Johnson was one of over 50 wrestlers who took part in a two-month Los Angeles tournament for California's version of the world title. He began getting bit parts in films upon moving to California, usually as the strongman or weightlifter, as early as 1934. He had a full head of blonde hair, but shaved it to maintain an imposing and villainous appearance in his wrestling and acting work. Johnson stood 6 feet 3 inches (1.91 metres) and weighed 440 pounds (200 kg) at his heaviest. Johnson in Plan 9 from Outer Space (1957)
