Stevenson made his acting debut in the 1990s, appearing in several television series before getting roles in action blockbusters in Hollywood. He was born on May 25, 1964, in Northern Ireland. Actually, in 2004, he got his big break when he was cast as Dagonet in Antoine Fuqua’s “King Arthur.”

Four years later, in 2008’s “Punisher: War Zone,” he finally secured a leading role, in what was then a somewhat brutal and violent rendition of Marvel’s dark figure, the Punisher. The picture failed poorly at the box office, earning only $10.1 million on a budget of $35 million, but it paved the way for John Bernthal’s critically lauded portrayal of the same character in Netflix’s subsequent series, “The Punisher.”

Ray Stevenson: A Legacy of Greatness

Television viewers will never forget his performance as Titus Pullo in the HBO series “Rome.” From 2005 to 2007, Steveson played a Roman soldier who was present for a number of pivotal events in the early years of the Roman Empire.

Seven awards were given to the show itself over its two seasons on air. Recently, Stevenson played the villainous Governor Scott Buxton in the Tollywood smash hit “RRR,” which was nominated for an Academy Award.

His posthumous appearances are scheduled for the aforementioned “Star Wars: Ashoka,” as well as “1242: Gateway to the West” and “Cassino in Ischia.” Ruth Gemmell, an actress herself and Ray Stevenson’s ex-wife, and their three children are his legacy.
