'''Matthias Hues''' (born 14 February 1959) is a [[Germany|German]]-born, naturalized [[United States of America|American]] [[actor]] and [[martial artist]]. He was born on Valentine's Day in [[Waltrop]], [[Germany]], to the late Dr. Josef Hues and Maria Humperdinck Hues who still resides in Germany. Maria is the niece of [[Engelbert Humperdinck (composer)|Engelbert Humperdinck]], composer of the opera ''[[Hansel and Gretel (opera)|Hansel and Gretel]]''.

Matthias was very involved in sports from an early age on. By the time he was 19 he was part of the team that won the German pentathlon championship in [[Hannover]] and he later became Germany's hope in [[track and field]]. He also took up [[martial arts]] due to his ability to move extremely fast for his 6'5" height and 250-pound weight.

After graduating from school, Matthias moved to [[Paris]] to fulfill his early dream of entering hotel management. Once there he joined one of the most prestigious health clubs in Paris, which had just been bombarded with the new [[Jane Fonda]] [[Aerobics|aerobic]] exercise program from the [[USA]]United States. Matthias recognized an opportunity when he saw one, then and after returning to Germany he gave up his idea of going into hotel management and instead opened two health clubs, flying in aerobic teachers from the USA.
