Although Chris Jericho has been on TV for quite some time now, Le Champion only has a shortlist of non-wrestling-related TV appearances.

Jericho first appeared on TV in ECW in 1996 but made an appearance on the TV series The Show of Archiles as a character named Dancer Owens.

He then starred in a TV movie about the band Fozzy that Jericho happens to be the frontman of. Jericho wrote the movie and starred as Mongoose McQueen. The movie has a few hard rock legends starring in it as well.

Much later in 2013, Jericho made an appearance on a TV miniseries during the pilot episode of Jon Davis Gets a Sex Robot. Despite the very intriguing name, the series did not turn out to be that popular.

In 2015 Jericho starred in two different TV movies. In Nothing to Report, a comedy where he played a police officer, he stars as an emotionally damaged cop who has to learn to get along with his equally damaged partner.

Later in the year, he starred in the third installment of the Sharkando franchise. He plays Bruce the Ride Attendant in a hilarious scene that does not work out that well for his character. Even though he is only in the movie for a small amount of time, it is a fun appearance for any wrestling fan to appreciate.

Jericho then appeared in the TV comedy series The Thundermans for one episode in 2016 titled Beat the Parents.

Jericho has a few mainstream movie appearances under his belt as well, but he hasn’t appeared in anything non-wrestling-related since his The Thundermans appearance. He is busy with AEW, his band Fozzy, and his Podcast, but that does not mean we might not see 'The Demo God' testing out his acting skills down the line.
