Fighters trend as actors

Edgar would unironically be good as some sort of enforcer or bookie type in a mob movie. He's got the look for it.
 
I don't think playing an extra that looks like a fighter should count as being an "actor". Maybe doing what Randy, Rampage, or Conor did should. Either way, seems like as soon as they start acting so much they end up being worse fighters.
 
Once they are freed from Reebok / Venum stuff, they can use their name for some money. Some of them already did.

Gane - definitely in 2Fast2Furious. He has the presence and it's a light movie, you don't have to think.

Frankie Edgar - playing "Frankie", a Mafia movie from the 30's. The rookie that goes up.

Wanderlei Silva - of course, Baraka in the new Mortal Kombat movie.

Costa - Clark Kent in a low cost Superman movie

Mackenzie Dern - Pizza delivery girl

Ronda Rousey - playing an alternate Britney Spears in highschool, a dominant bully one

Snatch 2 - a new added gang with Khabib, Islam, Ankalaev, Umar+Usman+Said

A light skate punk movie - Clay Guida and Frank Mir in a 2000s terrible movie

Ion Cutelaba - he can play Spartacus with that face

Thiago Silva can be in Breaking Bad

I don't know.

I could see the Diaz brothers playing math geniuses who don't give a fuck about numbers.
 
I like seeing former fighters putting in work outside of fighting. Tait Fletcher and Keith Jardine have done reasonably well for themselves post fighting, they get bit roles and are working steadily.

Oleg Taktarov in Predators and Den Of Thieves
Bisping's starting to get busy.
Oleg got chopped up and jammed into a 5 gallon bucket in one of the Bad Boys movies.
