Career
Deron McBee toured the professional racquetball circuit for three years. He was also an original Gladiator on American Gladiators, performing under the name Malibu, serving for one season on the show before returning several years later for the live tour. McBee is known for his muscular frame and athleticism, and, as Malibu, his blond hair, tanned skin, and surfer persona. In addition, McBee has trained in karate at the Billy Blanks World Karate Studio, and hand-to-hand combat and swordsmanship with Anthony De Longis.
As an actor McBee has generally been cast in action movies, usually in roles which allow him to use his fighting skills to portray a villain. For example, in Enter the Blood Ring, he portrays the wrestler Gregor. His karate training was showcased in T-Force as the character Zeus. In The Killing Zone (1991) he tells Slade that there are "no laws, no rules."
His most famous role is probably that of Motaro in the second Mortal Kombat film. McBee's B-Movie experience is highlighted by the The Killing Zone. In the DVD extras, McBee states that he has produced his impressive physique by abstaining from steroids and using a combination of prayer and faith.
In addition to film, McBee has had many guest starring roles on television.
In March, 2011, he appeared on Tosh.0 during the "Web Redemption" segment for the guy who moved out of the way of a baseball headed at him and his girlfriend.
