Triple H has been on WWE screens for almost three decades, but the COO has also appeared in several movies.
The superstar surprised the WWE Universe when he appeared in Blade: Trinity in 2004 without any promotion. 'The Game' portrayed the role of Jarko Grimwood and was part of several action sequences, alongside Wesley Snipes, Jessica Biel, and Ryan Reynolds.
Triple H's subsequent big roles came in The Chaperone and Inside Out, where he played the lead characters Raymond Bradstone and Arlo Jayne, respectively. The two projects were both WWE Studios' productions in 2011.
Aside from acting roles in recent WWE animations, the 14-time World Champion hasn't worked in a movie in more than a decade. Instead, Triple H opted to focus on his new responsibilities as an executive.
