Brad Lesley

Bradley Jay Lesley (born September 11, 1958 in Turlock, California) is a former Major League Baseball player for the Cincinnati Reds and Milwaukee Brewers from 1982 to 1985. Lesley, who was nicknamed "The Animal", was known for his aggressive style to motivate himself. He later became a television personality in Japan, after playing 2 seasons for the Hankyu Braves. His record in Japan is 7-5, 24 saves, 60 games over 2 years.

He is 6 ft 6, and has a Japanese wife named Chico. They have a son named Luke.

He is probably best known for his role as Ajimaru "Animal" Resry in the Japanese gameshow, Takeshi's Castle where he would participate in such games as "Devil's Domain", "Stuck Up" and his own game "Animal Bang". Takeshi's Castle would later be shown in the US on the cable network Spike TV as Most Extreme Elimination Challenge, later shortened to MXC.

He has also made a number of appearances in certain films such as "Brother" (2000) (as Moose), "Big Monster on Campus" (2000) (as Arnie), "Buddy" (1997) (as Ali Baba), "A Boy Called Hate" (1996) (as the Moving Truck Driver), "Little Big League" (1994) (as John 'Blackout' Gatling) and "Mr. Baseball" (1992) (as Niven). He also made a brief appearance in "Space Jam" (1996) (as Himself), after Michael Jordan had asked him to star in it personally.

He now lives in Los Angeles and works for the San Francisco Giants as a youth baseball pitching instructor.
