Swedish actor Dolph Lundgren, 68, says getting a second medical opinion after a kidney cancer health scare was the decision that turned everything around. He has spoken publicly about the experience in a new documentary, "Dolph: Unbreakable," which is now picking up reviews from critics and audiences.

Lundgren also has a memoir out looking back from his career, including the story behind a famous red carpet confrontation with Jean-Claude Van Damme. The documentary and book come out at the same time, giving fans a rare glimpse at the health battle and life the Swedish actor has kept largely private.
