As an immediate source of comedy for non-wrestling fans, professional wrestlers have always been an easy source of talent for sitcoms and movies looking for easily recognizable celebrities willing to poke fun at themselves. Adding to that the television trope of "Sitcom star accidentally ends up in wrestling match and finds out it's not fake," their cameo appearances are as frequent as they are entertaining. In movies, they're a quick cameo to connect the fictional world of the movie with the real world, or they're part of a biopic playing themselves in the past. The world of acting always seems to beckon the stars of the squared circle, and often they'll be brought in to play a generic wrestler - such as Triple H's appearance as "The Disciplinarian" on The Drew Carey Show - or a wrestler from the past- such as The Rock playing his own father Rocky Johnson on That 70s Show. The other option, of course, is to play themselves, a role they would obviously know better than anyone else - or so you'd hope. In these instances, the wrestler has the opportunity to expose themselves (and the business) to a whole new demographic of potential fans, and to show a different side to their character as well. When a wrestler plays himself in a movie or television show, it's fun to see two different worlds collide, particularly when those two worlds are the equally unbelievable worlds of professional wrestling and cartoons, Muppets, video games, and sitcoms we've grown attached to through years of loyal viewing.
