7 Sport Stars Who Tried To Break Hollywood

Acting doesn't come naturally to some sport stars, but for beloved cycling superman, Lance Armstrong, it was probably the only natural thing about him.

Lance popped up as a cameo in Vince Vaughn led comedy vehicle (man, that sentence isn't used much anymore, is it?) Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story. And there's surely no bigger underdog, than someone who takes a heap of performance-enhancing drugs to help them win at stuff.

When the wheels stopped turning and the fake urine samples stopped being collected though, Armstrong never returned to his acting career. Although some would argue that is life-long performance as a cycling legend, who managed to fool the entire planet for over 20 years, was always going to be his greatest acting role and hey, why try to top perfection?
