Erick Redbeard is looking to take the world of acting more seriously but hasn’t moved on from professional wrestling.
Redbeard is best known for his time in WWE as Erick Rowan but has made a handful of appearances for All Elite Wrestling.
When Redbeard appeared on the “Heated Shenanigans Podcast,” the former Superstar spoke about his attempts to transition into acting. He said,
“I’ve been transitioning, trying to take acting a little bit more seriously. I went a little bit away from wrestling, so working on acting classes, auditioning, just spreading my wings there. It’s different. It’s vulnerable, emotionally, putting myself out there, which is something you don’t normally see in wrestling. You don’t see guys my size, let alone on film, being emotional. It’s been fun. It’s an interesting journey, that’s for sure.
“I still wrestle because it’s fun and I still love wrestling. I love that wrestling incorporates both acting and sports and action and movement and stunts. It’s a weird melding of the worlds and it’s a lot easier for me to separate them now that I’m not signed to a particular company.”
Redbeard’s most recent match was on May 6 at JCW St-Ambroise 16.
