Wrestlers as Actors [Archive]

I'm not sure if anyone has heard about this, but John Cena is set to star in a new action movie called 12 Rounds that is set to be released soon. If you haven't seen it, you can watch the trailer here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSDa4sK2OqM)

Now with all the hubbub surrounding this new movie (12 Rounds, starring John Cena. If you haven't seen the trailer yet you can view it here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSDa4sK2OqM)) I think it'd be fun to reflect on the rich history of wrestlers who have turned their sights toward the silver screen.

Do it, or I'll call the Brute Squad

Tiny Lister, who played Zeus in the movie, came in and did a bit of wrestling around the time the movie came out. So I guess that would make him an actor turned wrestler.

I don't think I've seen the full episode, the only reason I can remember it is because I saw an episode of Heat in the past where they showed you the making of the episode. It was kind of a big deal back then because I guess it was amongst his first acting gigs alongside stuff like That 70's show.
