Stevenson’s acting career began with television shows in the 1990s, and he later gained recognition for his action roles in Hollywood films, most notably as Volstagg in Marvel’s ‘Thor’ franchise. He had a significant role in Antoine Fuqua’s 2004 adventure film ‘King Arthur,’ where he played Dagonet, one of the Knights of the Round Table. In the movie, his character makes a heroic sacrifice in the battle to aid Arthur and his comrades.

In 2008, Stevenson starred as the titular character, Frank Castle, in the Marvel film ‘Punisher: War Zone.’ Prior to his passing, he had a role in the upcoming action-adventure limited series ‘Ahsoka,’ a spin-off from the Star Wars franchise. In the series, he portrayed Baylan Skoll, a former Jedi who escaped Order 66 and became a mentor to Shin and an ally to Thrawn. This was his final role.

The entertainment industry mourns the loss of Ray Stevenson, remembering him for his contributions to film and television.
