WWE Hall of Famer Kane is currently the Mayor of Knox County in Tennessee. The 'Big Red Machine' finished his wrestling career to pursue a career in politics in 2018, but this wasn't the only option in his mind.
In 2006, Kane was unveiled as Jacob Goodnight in WWE Studio's See No Evil. The film gained mild success and even had a sequel.
Kane was also part of various other projects, including MacGruber, voicing himself in Scooby Doo's WrestleMania Mystery, but See No Evil was Kane's breakout role.
See No Evil 2 was a direct-to-video release and failed to have the success of its predecessor. After a cameo in Countdown (2016), Kane decided to put his acting career to rest to focus on politics.
