Swedish actor Dolph Lundgren, 68, says seeking another doctor's view after a kidney cancer health scare was the decision that kept him alive. He has talked openly about the experience in a new documentary, "Dolph: Unbreakable," which is now drawing reviews from critics and audiences.

Lundgren also has a memoir out looking back from his career, including the story behind a widely remembered 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 rarely discussed publicly.
