IMDb profile

Tommy Europe (born July 27, 1970, in Toronto, Ontario) is the Canadian actor and stunt performer who portrayed Rally, a member of the Caprica Buccaneers, in "The Plan." Before entering the entertainment industry, Europe played eleven seasons as a defensive back in the Canadian Football League (CFL), and has subsequently worked as a personal trainer, television host, and motivational speaker.

Career

Football

Europe attended Bishop's University in Lennoxville, Quebec, where he played college football. He was selected seventh overall — second round — in the 1993 CFL Draft by the BC Lions.

Europe spent four seasons with the Lions (1993–1996), appearing in all 18 regular-season games in each of his first four years. The Lions won the 82nd Grey Cup in 1994, with Europe among the team members honoured by the BC Sports Hall of Fame. He earned CFL West All-Star honours as a defensive back in 1995 and again in 2002.

In 1997, Europe signed with the Montreal Alouettes, where he played two seasons. He then joined the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 1999, remaining with the club through the 2003 season. A hamstring injury limited him to eight games in his final year, and he retired in May 2004 after 175 regular-season games and eleven seasons in the CFL. He also had a brief trial with the New Orleans Saints of the NFL in 1997 between his Lions and Alouettes tenures.

Following his retirement, Europe was inducted into the BC Sports Hall of Fame as a member of the 1994 BC Lions, the BC Lions Wall of Fame, the BC Football Hall of Fame, and Bishop's University's Wall of Distinction.

Fitness and television

After retiring from professional football, Europe established himself as a personal trainer in Vancouver, founding Tommy Europe Fitness. He was named best personal trainer in The Georgia Straight's Best of Vancouver readers poll in 2006, 2007, and 2009. Beginning in 2007, he starred as the fitness coach on the Slice network reality series The Last 10 Pounds Bootcamp and Bulging Brides, running for six seasons. In 2011, HarperCollins Canada published his fitness book The 10-Pound Shred: From Flab to Fit in 4 Weeks.

Stunt and acting work

Europe transitioned into film and television production work as a stunt performer, with early credits including Scary Movie 4 (2006) and Battlestar Galactica: The Plan (2009). Subsequent stunt credits include Deadpool (2016), Deadpool 2 (2018), Skyscraper (2018), The Predator (2018), and Snake Eyes (2021), as well as recurring stunt work across multiple seasons of Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Snowpiercer, and The Last of Us. He appeared on screen as Adult Randy Finkle in Totally Killer (2023).

Personal life

Europe is the father of two children. He is a national champion for the Canadian Men's Health Foundation and has served as a KidSport BC ambassador, receiving the KidSport Community Champion Award in 2014.
