10 UFC Fighters You Didn't Know Tried Their Hand At Acting

6. Josh Barnett

Josh Barnett spends more time on his podcast than fighting these days, and that's just fine - he's a pretty entertaining guy. And you know where entertaining guys tend to wind up? Besides podcasts, pro wrestling, and the octagon? Movies. Barnett is making the transition to acting this year, with not one but two projects in post-production in 2014. They haven't come out yet, so we can't judge how he fares in them, but Chuck Hank and the San Diego Twins features David Arquette, and has he ever made a bad movie? Then there's Absolution, featuring Steven Seagal and Vinnie Jones in addition to Barnett. Now that's a powerhouse trio if there's ever been one! Okay, so these will probably suck, but cheesy action flicks have their place, and good on Barnett for giving it a shot.
