When I first heard that Chris was up for the part of the sheriff in
Ghosts Don't Exist, my immediate thought was of Alex Karras in
Porky's. Karras was an ex-NFL player who parlayed his NFL career into 20+ years of acting, a
Monday Night Football gig, plus a few years as a professional wrestler. He played the role of the crooked sheriff in
Porky's (the original
American Pie.)
So while Chris
may not think he's great in front of the camera and may not have big aspirations for his one line in a movie, I would remind him that Karras got his start by grunting a line or two in
Blazing Saddles. "Mongo straight, Mongo like candy." In fact, if they ever remake
Blazing Saddles Chris should read for Mongo, he'd be awesome. And if that role led to a remake of
Webster with CC in the dad's role, well then that would be priceless.
On to the wrestling. We all know CC won a State championship as a high school wrestler, so faking a few moves in the squared circle should be gravy. He might want to go legit and do a little MMA action (
Michael Westbrook needs better competition), but I recommend the WWE. Vladimir would make a great manager!
So, now it's time for you to get involved. Answer these 2 questions in the comment section.
If you could remake a movie, what roles would you put Chris in?
My picks: Mongo from
Blazing Saddles, Irwin "Fletch" Fletcher, and Oger from Revenge of the Nerds.
If CC was a professional wrestler, what would you name him? (Capt. Chaos we all know)
My picks: Crouching Tiger Hidden Cooley, The Sharter (the finishing move is brutal,) The Leesburg Joker
