TMZ is reporting former WWE star Matt Striker has landed a role in the upcoming Star Trek Equinox: The Night of Time movie.
From TMZ:
We spoke with Matt … who tells us 13 years of pro-wrestling was great practice, saying “I did some acting as a child, movies like ‘Wise Guys’ etc. but really my time with the WWE has prepared me greatly for this next stage of my life.”
Veteran actor John Savage — who’s starring in the flick — says Striker was “handpicked” for the part … telling us “when Matt was presented for audition, we thought we had our guy — after he read, we knew it.”
Savage says Striker’s work in the ring was definitely a factor when it came to casting him for the role.
