Steve Rackman – Donk Then
Rackman aka Donk was the lucky man who got to kiss Paul Hogan. He was also a professional wrestler at the time who went by the name “Crusher” ,so it was a brave move by Hogan puckering up to such a fierce figure.

Donk reprised his role in both sequels and felt like completing the Crocodile Dundee trilogy was a fitting way to retire from Hollywood. After the third movie was released he took a back seat and now runs a gym back home in Australia.
