these parties bore me to death these
celebrities are big names and two very
different and competitive industries
would have an own bar I’m gonna worry
about oh man that wood is no more
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
athletes who succeeded as actors I ask
the questions you answer the questions
nothing more nothing less
you wanna try again for this list we’re
looking at former athletes who competed
either professionally or on an
international stage who’ve since gained
fame as actors he killed my family
I saw kill one of us in return we did
not consider anyone who never progressed
past the college level in their sport so
Burt Reynolds and Nick Nolte never had a
chance on top of that Jackie Chan and
Bruce Lee were also not in the running
as they never competed in any
international tournaments number 10
Chuck Norris since I Bob’s my student
Norris has arguably had one of the most
impressive karate careers in history
having held the professional
middleweight karate championship title
for six years so he could easily have
rested on his laurels their fate hangs
on the thumb of our final judge
it’s
opting instead to make the jump to film
he appeared alongside martial arts
legend Bruce Lee and almost immediately
began headlining action flicks although
he stepped away from the spotlight his
impact on the industry has never been
forgotten and even resulted in his
inclusion in the Expendables series
along with several Hollywood
heavyweights we were either you were
dead yeah I heard that too so how’s life
treating you perhaps one of the biggest
tributes to a star power is the fact
that Walker Texas Ranger once became the
subject of a recurring bit on Conan
O’Brien’s late-night show Oh
number nine Terry Crews oh how did such
a massive man become such an
accomplished comedic actor after being
drafted in 1991 Cruz spent a few years
as an NFL journeyman before retiring in
97 to become t-money on an American
Gladiators ripoff called battle dome
hate each other finding the job he may
have always been fated for he began to
take small but memorable roles like
president Camacho in idiocracy before
landing more substantial ones now I
understand everyone shits emotional
right now
but listen up I got a three point plan
to fix everything an actor blessed with
natural charisma perfect timing and a
more than impressive physique the
background could no longer contain him
and he broke out in television and films
dr. Susman I am so so sorry please don’t
hold us against my daughters I would
never do that preschool admissions are
based on what we think of the parents Oh
No number eight Jim Brown that’s right
we’re traitors a member of the College
Football Hall of Fame the Pro Football
Hall of Fame and the LaCrosse Hall of
Fame Jim Brown’s credentials in the
sports world are beyond reproach
transitioning from the gridiron to movie
sets doesn’t seem like a simple move but
Brown managed to pull it off with style
he’s taken roles that play off his life
experience like any given Sunday as well
as those that fall outside our
perception of what his comfort zone
might be me
for our money though his most
entertaining role may just be as
fireball in the running man as he
manages to remain intimidating despite
the ridiculous getup last season’s
winners know last season’s Lucius number
7 Dave Bautista yeah let’s cut him loose
professional wrestlers may not be taken
seriously in some circles but we assure
you they have to be fantastic athletes
yeah I know exactly what it is a face of
the WWE franchise for a number of years
Batista decided to step away and after
appearing in several small productions
he nailed the role that would alter his
life forever what do you expect us to do
while we wait tapped to play Drax in the
surprise smash guardians of the galaxy
Batista stellar personification of the
character introduced the world to his
acting potential and what makes Drax
great nothing goes over my head
my reflexes are too fast catching less
experienced than others on this list the
fame he seems poised to capture has more
than earned his spot on our list he’s
stupid traitor nobody talks to my
friends like that number 6 Jason Statham
I’m not sure what’s more worrying the
job or your past a former member of the
British national diving squad as well as
a standout in martial arts Statham came
to the world’s attention after meeting a
young upstart director 7lm sausages
Charlie five minutes Turkish
it was two minutes five minutes ago
taking a major role in Guy Ritchie’s
feature film debut which against all
odds made him recognizable Statham
worked with the director once more
before the lure of Hollywood beckoned
them both going on to star in several
franchises like the transporter the
Expendables crank and The Fast and the
Furious movies
the state has since become one of his
generations definitive action stars your
mistake there to play gangs number five
jean-claude Van Damme looks like she’s
mine now leave the lady alone understand
that a competitive fighter since the age
of 15 Van Damme once defeated 25
fighters in three days and in five years
of competition was defeated just once a
resume like that allows the typical film
goer to buy into someone’s credibility
which played a huge part in je CBDs
ability to become a bankable movie star
sir Ripa de shirt peppering his films
with amazing splits and incredible
roundhouses he’s mostly been known for
his fighting technique so
what’s it going to be when GC VD was
released however his acting finally took
center stage a role that garnered Oscar
buzz the moment he addressed the camera
directly set him apart from the persona
he’d crafted for so long
made me Don Tonopah Nevada Karate Pesce
most epic answer sir ah c’est moi Oh
show me number 4 Jason Lee I would have
been a sexy chick there are few people
in film history that are skilled at
delivering monologues as this man is it
that hard to make us look cool
technically part of a classics team
roster to this day Lee is an
accomplished professional skateboarder
but is best known to the masses for
delivering scripted lines it’s this hour
in the suite and I know Southwest which
allows me to appreciate this way an
important cog in the careers of both
Kevin Smith and Cameron Crowe there’s
something about Jason Lee that reminds
you of your smartass friend when he’s at
the very top of his game everyone can be
super and with everyone super no one
will be altering his persona completely
for his television role as Earl Hickey
Lee proved he could go from acerbic and
whip-smart to sincere and uneducated
overnight no no no no no no no I was
just shaking his hand I didn’t mean to
number three Carl Weathers a former
linebacker in the NFL and CFL weathers
professional football career didn’t turn
many heads but he will go down in the
annals of pop culture history
nonetheless for his turn as Apollo Creed
a snow-white underdog and I’m gonna put
his face on this poster with me and I’ll
tell you why because I’m sentimental his
character was so beloved that nearly 40
years later when the rocky franchise was
continued it took on his character’s
last name people died in the ring your
daddy died Morini
embracing his comedic side in the later
years of his career alongside Adam
Sandler and the Arrested Development

performer and will likely never be
forgotten you better snap out of it
