[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Former world champion Victor Ortiz is giving credibility to Jake Gyllenhaal's new fight film Southpaw by signing up for a supporting role.

Ortiz will add to his acting resume with the role of Ramone, a street kid with boxing potential. The onscreen story parallels his real life struggles - Ortiz had a difficult childhood.

Good move for Ortiz ....

Makes no sense to train for fights and then as soon as you get clipped, call it a night. Looking forward to seeing how well he acts ....

He's probably made some money boxing and its time to move on.

Would have been interesting to see Em in this type of movie. Looking forward to Expendables 3 outside the fact they have Ortiz and Rousey in it. **** choice for both roles. I also feel that having Ortiz in this movie Southpaw will make it lose its credibility. I won't be able to take his role serious at all. Especially if he's trying to be some hard a$$.

Maybe they'll have him say his immortal line of "I don't deserve to get beat up like this!"

[Rip Chudd]

Any role outside of him playing a tree is a stretch

[Glass-Joe]

Probably a good move for him. There are easier ways to make a buck.

Will Ortiz be a better actor than Fernando Vargas?

LMAO, Eminem quit?

I really liked his music in the day, but he's a baby.

Well I hear Ortiz's roll is small, a cameo really. He's playing a oak tree in one of the forest scenes.
