1. Chuck Norris is a terrible actor. Citing Walker, Texas Ranger as proof of his acting chops is ridiculous to anyone who was forced to watch that godawful show every Saturday with their mom. If his acting looks good in that, its only because he was surrounded by deeply terrible acting.
2. Arnold Schwarzeneggers charisma = underrated? On what planet? His charisma transcends his extremely limited acting ability. His charisma made him. Yes, Ive always been a fan, but Olivier he certainly aint.

I have to argue the Rock (yes I will always call him that lol) should have been number 1. Arnold may have a longer legacy, but only because The Rock is making his. He's one of the highest paid, most in demand actors, plus he is known to be a great person with an amazing work ethic.
reply

You forgot to mention Jason Statham as an honorable mention, and who Im surprised wasnt on the 10.
He was on the British swimming dive team, Which probably means that it was actually him doing the dive in the prison escape scene of the mechanic resurrection.

reply

Me and two of my coworkers today was talking about how kids only know don't know Dwayne Johnson, John Cena, or Batista as actors and not wrestlers. That's like when finding out Ronald Reagan was an actor which I only know because of Back To The Future.
reply

How is Ronda Rousey on this list let alone higher than Dave Bautista? She has one expression that she uses in every movie shes in. And her vocal performance as Sonya blade in MK11? BRO! Im not saying shes the worst but she should not be in the top 10.
reply

Don't know enough about Garnett in a role and Rousey. nah, just nah. I doubt I'd have even considered either for an honorable mention, let alone on this type of list, but I do know I'd have put Jim Brown on it before either one of them.
reply

I disagree with number 1. I think he is the most famous of this group. I am not going to down his acting as I am not actress. I know that it is difficult to do, and I like some of his films. I grew up watching him.
reply

Say whatever you want about The Rock as an actor but you can't deny that he's very charismatic and likeable enough to attract a bunch of audiences to see his movies just for the sake of entertainment
reply

John Cena is my favorite wrestling actor! His performances in Bumblebee F&F 9 and The Suicide Squad were all amazing! Not to mention the fact that his performance in Peacemaker was gold!
reply

Good list, I would have put Bautista, Norris, Crews and a few others above. cough John. Cena. Cenas gotten better and killed it on Peacemaker but Bautista was pretty good right put the gate
reply

I say my favourite sports stars. Turned actors would be Arnold Schwarzenegger. Dwayne johnson. Dave Batista and John Cena. Chunk norris. And jakie chan Scott adkins and donnie yen as well
reply

Dwayne The Rock Johnson went from wrestling entertainer to film actor/voice actor plus film/TV producer.
He became one of my most favorite Hollywood celebrities since the 2000s.

reply

Dwayne Johnson has a whole new career as an actor now. In fact, I've met many people who are surprised that he used to be a wrestler!
reply

Terry is white chicks was so beyond funny to watch I was not able to keep a straight face during the movie since he sang that song
reply

I was looking for Bubba Smith. I loved him in The Police Academy movies and his two visits to Married with Children. Funny!
reply

Fred Dryer, Hunter, and much more. Former NFL star
Alex Karras, Blazing Saddles. Mongo love Sheriff Bart and much more.

reply

I was thinking about wrestlers and martial artists who are also actors like Dwayne Johnson, John Cena, and Jackie Chan
reply

I would never argue the physicality needed for Professional Wrestling but I would say it's more actor then athlete.
reply

Meaning Arnold wouldn't have been my pick, considering the weight lifting doesn't seem to be a sport per say.
reply

What about Jason Statham Olympic diver to actor & who can forget Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the flying high movies
reply

When Chuck Norris does push ups he doesn't push himself up, he pushes the Earth down we all know that's true
reply

Dave Bautista is the best wrestler turned actor. He's easily better than the Rock when it comes to acting.
