Career

Smith's fame began in 1995 when he joined TV's 'Gladiators' as 'Rhino', where he remained for five years. He then starred as 'Leo' in the Nickelodeon (UK & Ireland) show 'Renford Rejects' and also guest starred as 'Johnson' on numerous occasions in the hit BBC soap 'Eastenders'. He has also appeared in several blockbusters including 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides', 'Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy', 'Rollin' with the Nines' and an appearance as 'Shadow Warrior' in the film Batman Begins.[1]

Smith has also appeared in a number of TV dramas including Lynda La Plante's 'Trial & Retribution', 'Hustle', 'The Bill' and 'Inspector Morse'. Smith starred in the BBC One series 'Robin Hood' where he played the Arabian knight 'Karim'.[1]

Smith now co-ordinates the fitness programme for a newly developed gym 'Island Fitness' in Enfield Lock.[2]

On 4 June 2005, at London's infamous York Hall, Smith went head to head with lottery winner Michael Carroll in a boxing match. The fight drew much publicity with the press conference ending in a brawl after Carroll lunged for Smith. On the day, the fight had to be stopped three times due to Carroll's inability to continue. The former binman later stated "I will definitely get back in the ring with him. I will train harder next time.".[3] The charity re-match took place at the Manchester Evening News Arena in September 2005. This time Carroll was knocked out in the 2nd Round.[4]
