Ted Prior (born August 9, 1959) is an American actor, film producer, and bodybuilder.
Born in Newark, New Jersey, Prior moved to Los Angeles in the late 1970s to pursue a career as a bodybuilder.
Eventually, David co-founded Action International Pictures, which specialized in making low budget genre films.
Separately from them, Prior acted in Hardcase and Fist (1989), Possessed by the Night (1994), Day of the Warrior (1996), among others.
Ted and David made several films together, including Future Zone (1990), The Final Sanction (1990), Raw Nerve (1991), and Night Claws (2012).
That film established patterns that would persist throughout Prior’s (David) career, namely, extremely low budgets, hammy dialogue, outrageous action, and, most importantly, the presence of his brother Ted".
[6][7] In 1989, Prior was a lead in Hardcase and Fist, Jungle Assault, Hell on the Battleground, and Born Killer.
[12] In 1990, Prior was a lead in two films directed by his brother: Future Zone, and The Final Sanction.
[22] In 2000, Prior started managing Next Level Acting Studios in California and became a partner of the production company All American Pictures.
I’ve talked to lot of fans of the movie, and after having all kinds of ideas thrown at us, Dave and I have decided to stick to the basic formula as the original.
