LOS ANGELES -- A man has been mauled to death by dogs at the home of actor Ving Rhames.

Police went to the gated home in Los Angeles Friday morning and found the body of a 40-year-old man on the front lawn.

Four mastiffs were seized by animal control officers.

Police said that the victim had the job of caring for the dogs and he'd worked at the home for about two years.

Rhames wasn't home at the time of the attack.

The actor has starred in such films as "Pulp Fiction," "Con-Air" and the "Mission: Impossible" movie series.

In a 1999 interview with the Los Angeles Times, the Pulp Fiction star showed off his “petrifying” Ambullneo mastiff named Samson and his three mastiff puppies -- Storm, Scorsese and Cage.

He also talked about his 170-pound Fila Brasileiro named Kong.

"The dog was actually bred to guard slaves," Rhames said. "It was the only dog they found that had the temperament to guard a slave. It could be around you every day, but if you tried to run away, it would deal with you like it never saw you before."

The Times reporter joked, “Just as you are thinking how helpful this will be to the forensic specialists, he pulls the dog away with his free hand before it can playfully disembowel you.”

During the interview, Rhames lavished his canines with attention, at times speaking to them in baby talk.

Still, despite their intimidating appearance, Rhames insisted that his dogs were all bark no bite. "He just wants to play,” Rhames said of Kong.
