WWE: 10 Pro Wrestlers Whose Acting Careers Bombed

By Chris McKittrick /

4. Big Show

Like Andre the Giant before him, Big Show could count on his gigantic size to get a few roles in Hollywood movies. Show has had a number of small roles in big budget films like Jingle All the Way, The Waterboy, and MacGruber and television shows like Thunder in Paradise, Shasta McNasty, Star Trek: Enterprise, Royal Pains, Burn Notice, and even a music video for Sisqo's Thong Song. Show has also sometimes been noted for his comedic timing in his WWE promos, which is probably why WWE Studios thought his prior acting experience prepared him for his first lead role in 2010's Knucklehead, a comedy filled with jokes about Show's massive size and gross-out humor. However, Knucklehead grossed less than $9,000 worldwide at the box office. That probably explains why Show hasn't appeared in a movie since.
