10 of the best wrestlers turned actors

#6 Terry Funk

Terry Funk played a rough and tumble bouncer in late 1980s action flick Roadhouse. While his character on screen didn't get along with Swayze, the two were friends on the set. Funk even helped Swayze choreograph the film's final fight scene.

Alas, there is no rumble between Swayze and Funk, though Funk gets to beat up a few folks. But let's face it; Swayze's roundhouse kick vs. the running Piledriver and spinning toe hold? That's no contest at all!
