The Best Bout Machine has already had an impressive pro wrestling career, becoming one of the few Western superstars to capture the coveted and prestigious IWGP heavyweight championship of the New Japan pro wrestling promotion.

He also had his rematch with Rainmaker Okada rated at seven stars by Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, and made headlines around the world when many speculated he would sign with the WWE. Omega instead made the decision to sign with the fledgling AEW promotion and is making the most of his time there, dominating proceedings.

Why he would be a good actor: Kenny Omega is ripped but put him in street clothes and he could be a leading man with ease. If you've seen his antics as part of the Golden Lovers, you know he can also act quite well--many fans believed he truly was in a relationship with his tag team partner.

Omega is as versatile as they come and that adds to his CV to land up to just about any relevant role.
