    Randall "Tex" Cobb was in a movie called "The champ" with Jon Voight. Ali was in his own movie "The Greatest" as well as a TV miniseries called "Freedom Road."

    Max Baer became an actor and worked on numerous films.

      [QUOTE=el***;12853659]SRL is all over the TV. He was on "Punked!" and also "Are you smarter than a 5th grader"

      For punked they pretended his son wrecked his sports car. He didnt even really get mad.[/QUOTE]

      I'll have to check that one out. He seems like a person who would keep his cool though. He was also in a episode of Married with Children. He knocks out Al Bundy in a commercial for shoes. Peg and the kids ask him if his hand is alright from hitting Al in the face. Thing is I remember him looking at the wrong hand. I guess they put in the wrong take for the episode.

        Sugar Ray Leonard was in an episode of Tales from the Crypt. He plays a gravedigger. He gets killed with his own shovel. But the guy who does it gets his at the end of the episode.

        Randall "Tex" Cobb was in Uncommon Valor. I think he beats up Patrick Swayze in that one.
        Just remembered this one and revisited the thread to put it down. Beat me to it!

        I'm surprised George never made much movie work. He's a larger-than-life kinda guy, very charismatic. Maybe he never had the time, with all the personal tragedies he experienced.
