10 Weirdest Wrestler Cameos In Movies
10. Brodus Clay - No One Lives
Anyone remember Brodus Clay? The sizeable star appeared in WWE NXT’s fourth season, mentored by and eventually bodyguard to Del Rio (a job Clay had actually done for rapper Snoop Dogg in the years before wrestling fame came calling). If this hasn’t yet rang any bells of recognition, perhaps his later main roster WWE moniker “Funkasaurus” will.
The theatrical performer’s funk dancing became his gimmick and he devoted most of his in-ring appearances to it (as well as the occasional spot of wrestling).
Unfortunately, Clay’s slick moves don’t make an appearance in the 2012 flop No One Lives, a Luke Evans-starring horror thriller which bombed at the box office upon release. However the wrestler does get a prize role in the flick, short as it is.
What’s odd about this appearance, however, is the fact that the massive, imposing fighter doesn’t actually put up a fight—meaning this role could have been covered by any larger than average actor, and not a famous heavyweight who would have been perfect for an extended fight scene.
Instead, he’s the first character offed by Evans’ ruthless serial killer and later on provides said killer a corpse in which to hide, allowing him to infiltrate the hideout of Clay’s gang and pick them off one-by-one.
