In Loving Memory of Scott Schwartz

December 8, 2024

Scott L. Schwartz 1959–2024

The Cauliflower Alley Club is deeply saddened by the passing of Scott Schwartz — a wrestler, actor, and humanitarian whose life was marked by passion, perseverance, and heart.



Scott's wrestling journey began under the legendary Walter “Killer” Kowalski, debuting as "Giant David" before transforming into “The Israeli Commando” Joshua Ben-Gurion. He later competed for Herb Abrams’ UWF, where he captured the UWF Israeli Championship.

Beyond wrestling, Scott found success on screen, most notably as "Bulldog The Bruiser" in Ocean's Eleven, Ocean's Twelve, and Ocean's Thirteen, along with roles in The Scorpion King, Spider-Man, Starsky & Hutch, and more. His charisma and larger-than-life presence made him a standout in every role he played.


In 2006, Scott was honored with the Cauliflower Alley Club’s prestigious Reel Award, recognizing his significant contributions to both professional wrestling and the entertainment industry. His ability to bridge the worlds of wrestling and acting made him a beloved figure in both communities.


Scott’s humanitarian efforts were equally impactful, becoming a fierce advocate for breast cancer awareness after losing his sister to the disease. His advocacy earned him numerous accolades, reflecting his dedication to making a difference.


He is survived by his wife, Misty, and his children, Angela and Adam. The Cauliflower Alley Club extends its deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all who were touched by his life.
