Maybe it works for him. Wrestlers have a weird relationship when it comes to acting. Some of them take to it naturally, but a lot of the time it feels like you are watching a wrestler reading movie lines. Every now and then you see something that works out though and it can make for quite the success. We might be seeing that take place again with a certain wrestling legend.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle will be appearing in the upcoming romantic comedy “Ask Me To Dance”. The movie is being filmed in Rochester, New York and will star Brana Evigan, Joyce DeWitt and Mario Cantone. There is no word on what role Angle will be playing in the film. Angle has dabbled in acting during and after his wrestling career, with his biggest role being as a mixed martial artist in Warrior.
Angle has had some rather funny moments over the years. Check out some of his better times:
Opinion: This is something that you see a lot of wrestlers do over the years and Angle has done well enough in some smaller roles over the years. I’m not sure how big of a movie this is going to be but if it is something that he wants to do and can make work, hopefully it does well. If nothing else, it gives him something else to do, as his wrestling career has come to an end.
