Tessier had served time in the US Armed Forces seeing action in Korea as a paratrooper and earning both a Silver Star and a Purple Heart, and in addition was an accomplished motorcycle rider and circus stunt performer. His movie breakthrough came at the age of 33, in the low budget Tom Laughlin biker movie "The Born Losers (1967)". With his menacing looks, Tessier was never short of on screen work, often turning up in several movies a year playing gang leaders, bikers & other murderous thugs. He appeared alongside Burt Reynolds on three occasions in "Longest Yard (1974)", "The Hooper (1980)" and "Cannonball Run (1981)". Alternately, he was equally busy on television appearing in popular shows including Starsky & Hutch, Magnum PI, The Fall Guy & The A-Team. Undoubtedly, Tessier's most well remembered role was that of grinning, head butting street fighter "Jim Henry" in the Charles Bronson film "Hard Times (1975)". Tessier formed "Stunts Unlimited" with fellow noted stunt performers Hal Needham, Glenn R. Wilder and Ronnie Rondell Jr. He passed away from cancer aged 56 in October, 1990. hide |
