The high school music director is played by Henry Winkler (aka “The Fonz” for those of you old enough to remember Happy Days). 12, 2012, Here Comes The Boom follows former collegiate wrestler and 42-year-old high school biology teacher Scott Voss (played by MMA fan and active training participant Kevin James) as he competes in MMA to help raise money for his fledgling high school and the potential cancellation of the school’s music program.

"I figured out that you can't live like a rock star anarchist for too long without being killed or landing for a long stretch in prison.Here Comes The Boom starring Kevin James, Salma Hayek and a slew of other notable names from both Hollywood and the sport of mixed martial arts is starting to build a buzz in the MMA community, as well as the overall entertainment media.Įxpected for release on Oct. "I was acting like a mad man for a good stretch of my post-fight life," Miller later wrote on Facebook, while admitting to trouble with his "state of mind" and sobriety. In 2019, he served time for vandalism and violating a protective stay-away order following a domestic violence offense, per NBC Los Angeles. He live-tweeted a standoff with police two years later. Mayhem was found naked in a church in 2012, according to TMZ. Critics called the film "hackneyed" and "derivative," per Rotten Tomatoes. As of this writing, Miller's last acting role was in 2017, around the time a string of personal troubles caught up with him. Mayhem put aside his pride and took a painful dive for The King of Queens and then got puked on in the flick.

However, Liddell did eventually land a co-lead alongside old rival Randy Couture in the straight-to-video D-Day: Battle of Omaha Beach, which one unhappy viewer described as the "second worst movie I have ever seen."īeing a genuine showman who could back it up landed Miller the role of Lucky in Kevin James' 2012 MMA comedy, Here Comes the Boom. He even made a one-line cameo on The Simpsons.

But the "Iceman" did manage to portray himself pretty effectively on HBO's Entourage, " a performance that ages surprisingly well," according to Brobible.įightland Vice even calls him "not a terrible actor," noting, " not exactly Meryl Streep, but he's not a complete wooden mess." High praise for a fighter-turned-actor, but the site also admits the Iceman got a bit typecast in a series of B-movie roles, where he beats up baddies, but isn't given much opportunity to actually say anything. His post-fight interviews were somewhat less electrifying than his emphatic post-fight celebrations. Liddell is not, however, the most loquacious chap. As one critical fan put it (via Quora), "Her acting makes it painfully obvious that this is her second career." However, more simpish fanboys swooned, and Carano's Dune may strike back yet. 2019 saw the surprise of Disney's mega-budget The Mandalorian mini-series, featuring Carano as bounty hunter Cara Dune. Carano continued with a string of B-movies and then cameos in blockbusters like Fast & Furious 6 and Deadpool. Carano barely even speaks in the trailer.Īcting is, however, a skill you can develop. The action scenes are solid, especially the MMA star's close-run beatdown of a dapper Michael Fassbender, but as The New York Times put it, " expressions run the gamut from glower to pout, and her features give little indication of her character's inner state." The studio seemed to agree. Soderbergh, so sure-footed in other action-caper classics like Out of Sight, couldn't quite groove with Carano and audiences deplored it, scoring the film at 41 percent over at Rotten Tomatoes. Iconic director Steven Soderbergh came calling with Carano's first lead role in 2011's Haywire.
