Career

edit

Sometimes credited as Robert "Bonecrusher" Mukes, Mukes played professional basketball in Europe until age 30, then trained for pro-wrestling.[2] His time in that career field was cut short due to injuries.[citation needed]

The 6' 10" actor is best known for his role as Rufus "R.J." Firefly, Jr. in House of 1000 Corpses, a role he did not reprise in the sequel Devil's Rejects.[3] Mukes is also known for his role as eskimo bounty hunter Abumchuck in the TV series Weeds and his work on HBO's TV series, Westworld.[4][5]

Mukes attends fan conventions as a celebrity guest, such as San Diego Comic Con, Monster-Mania Con, Scare-a-Con, Scarefest, Days of the Dead, and Rock & Shock.[6]
