5. Georges St. Pierre - Captain America: The Winter Soldier
The first UFC fighter to also play a Marvel character. Yeah, that's pretty badass. The reserved GSP switched roles for his big screen debut (lets not count unheard of indie stuff he showed up in years ago), playing a bad guy you would think was specifically written for him: Georges Batroc, a.k.a. Batroc the Leaper, in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. It was a part that came with a lot of fanfare, and he did a solid job with a limited amount of screen time. It was solid enough to earn him another movie role, anyway - a part in the upcoming remake of Kickboxer.
