1) 1974-1978 The main character
in THE SIX MLLION DOLLAR MAN television series, played by
Lee Majors. Steve Austin was an astronaut, but he got all smashed up upon re-entry. The US government said they would re-build him into a super strong and fast bionic cyborg if he would agree to work as a secret agent. Not wanting to be a fucked-up cripple for the rest of his life -- he agreed!
SMDM won a
Golden Globe Award.
2) "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Born in 1965 as Steve Williams, probably borrowed his name from the character above. In 1990 he enrolled in Chris Adams' wrestling school. In 1991 he made his WCW debut as "Stunning" Steve Austin. He is
6f 2i and
252 pounds. He has held all kinds of professional wrestling titles, and has now become an actor.
3) A Rap/Hip Hop artist. Album: "800 lb. Gorilla", Top Song: "
Bussa Move". Being that he is on the "Bioniq Labs" label (a division of Universal) I would assume that he also borrowed his name from the $6 million man (or else Universal decided to play off it).
1) The Six
Million dollar Man started out cool, and ended up shit.

THE LONGEST YARD (2005) as Guard
Dunham.
