Sports stars in films


Recommended Posts

I found an old cigarette card with a picture of olympic champion skater Sonja Henie. On Wiki I learned that she went into films and with her brilliance and beauty this came as no surprise.

She was brilliant in this Glenn Miller film.

I can think of a few others, mainly cameo roles like "Escape to Victory" but how many sports personalities can we think of who made it on the "silver screen" or TV and so on?

Bruce Lee.

Jackie Chan? Although strictly speaking I s'pose he's a stuntman, he used his martial arts which he mastered as a young lad in his films.
