There are only a handful of athletes that have transitioned from sports to the world of television and movies. There are even fewer athletes that have become excellent actors. There are so many athletes that have tried to be actors, yet failed miserably. The majority of sports stars that have hosted Saturday Night Live have turned out to be duds, and that’s really all the proof you need that most athletes just don’t have what it takes to entertain beyond the field, court, oval or ring. When an athlete does become a successful actor though, it is truly a site to behold. Some have become so good that many people might have forgotten they started out as athletes. Here’s a look at 10 of the best athletes turned actors. Are there any that you would have added to the list?
10. Terry Crews
Terry Crews has proven to be an incredibly versatile actor. Crews has shown that he is a certifiable action star by starring in the Expendables franchise, and he has made audiences laugh as well, by starring in the cult hit Idiocracy, and being a series regular on the sitcom Brooklyn Nine Nine. Before his foray into acting, Crews was an up and coming football star. Crews broke into Hollywood by being the face of Old Spice in commercials and starring in Chris Rock’s semi-autobiographical sitcom Everybody Hates Chris. Before that, he was playing in the NFL. His NFL career lasted six years and he played for the Los Angeles Rams, San Diego Chargers, Washington Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles.
