In his 12 years with WWE, Randy Orton has seemingly done it all. A multi-time world champion and first ballot WWE Hall of Famer, Orton is one of the best in-ring technicians in the company today, but it's not his tremendous talent inside the squared circle that's a problem. It's his complete lack of charisma. Sure, he's shown sparks of life in recent weeks as he undergoes a slow burning babyface turn, but prior to that, Orton's heel persona bored WWE Universe members to tears. While he may be a much more natural heel than a face, his monotone voice and robotic gestures during his matches simply aren't exciting. That's why he never made a great actor. If he couldn't get fans to care about him as a wrestler, how would that ever translate over to the big screen? He made his acting debut in 2011's "That's What I Am" produced by WWE Studios and produced a forgettable performance. He was slightly better in 2013's "12 Rounds 2: Reloaded" but its poor sales deemed the film a failure. Orton is currently out filming "The Condemned 2: Desert Prey," so here's hoping it's third time's the charm for The Apex Predator.
