I can totally see Roman Reigns playing the tough body guard in a action movie or something.
He has the looks for the big screen.

I doubt it. The Rock was an anomaly. He was able to prove himself as a decent enough actor but Hollywood would typecast almost anyone else from the WWE. And most of them are pretty bad actors already.

Ted DiBiase, Jr. Without a doubt.

Ted DiBiase, Jr. Without a doubt. I can see Ted playing the lead role in one of those "Take a Bunch of References From a Bunch of Recent Movies and Insert Sex Jokes, Fart Jokes, Etc." parody films. |

There's only a small handful of guys with the company now that could be in a major film (that haven't yet), and while they wouldn't win any awards they could make reasonable accounts of themselves: Big Show, Paul Heyman, Daniel Bryan, Eve, JBL, Michael Cole, Mick Foley, Santino, Dolph Ziggler and Miz.
Orton, Mark Henry and CM Punk could play decent hitmen.
IMO, HHH did a decent job in Blade Trinity, and Cena did the best he could with some shitty scripts.

Technically, Heyman has been (the Rollerball remake).
It wasn't for very long, and the film was terrible, but still...

Eh, plenty of other action guys have done better with what Cena had to work with. He's just not that much of an actor. He wasn't incompetent by any means but he wasn't good either. |

Cena's thing isn't that he's a bad actor. I mean, he's not great, but the problem is that absolutely NONE of his charisma comes across in anything he's in. He comes off like a more boring Matt Damon.

I think Kaitlyn could. She seems to have a lot of charisma.

For some reason, I can see Cena doing Adam Sandler type movies--only he busts out a wrestling move for no reason at the end of every movie even if the plot doesn't allow for it.

It's not that they're bad actors, but most wrestlers have very limited range.
But give someone the right role, and I think almost any guy would do well with it.
Hell, if I gave Stone Cold a Frank Booth-esque character...he would totally knock it out of the park.

Khali will probably go to bollywood once he retires.
Big Show and Kane will play big intimidating guys.

Khali was in a few movies already.

I think Cody could be great as an actor. Though his lisp hinders him seeing as he has been turned down before for his lisp alone  . He did great with Warehouse 13 though. Would love to see more of him in movies  |
