    Boxers who did Acting?

    I once saw Sugar Ray Robinson, in an episode of Land of the Giants, and there's the old classic of Victor McGlaghlan fighting John Wayne in The Quiet Man.. Robinson, I believe was in quite a few other things also?

    Ken Norton, Mark Breland, Tex Cobb, Marvin Hagler, Joe Bugner and Gary Stretch who I mentioned on another thread, have all been in films..
    James Toney, Tommy Morrison and Antonio Tarver have all played boxers..
    I'm sure there's plenty more?.. Boxers in funny adverts won't go a miss either?

      I can right off the bat mention Jersey Joe Walcott and Max Baer who starred in the Bogart classic "The harder they fall".

      Ray Mancini was an off-Broadway actor after his boxingcareer.

          Fernando Vargas was in the movie Alpha Dog.
          Carlos Monzon was in some movies in Argentina.
          Archie Moore & Jack Dempsey were in some movies.

          A whole bunch of other boxers besides Ali were in Requiem for a Heavyweight.

                    Lol, Stalone getting schooled

                    WTF is that going on with Tyson and Downey Jr?.. Doesn't look like acting, looks like Mike's dead pissed off.. I know Downey's a good actor, but he's doing a great job of ****ting himself in this one!

                    Cheers.. Entertaining stuff!
