#2 The Big Show - Jingle All The Way (1996)

A multiple-time WWE Champion, The Big Show has had a lot of success, both in and out of the ring, during his career. The 48-year-old even has own self-titled sitcom, starring in "The Big Show Show" on Netflix this year.

Paul Wight's acting resume, however, dates back to 1996 - years before he debuted in WWE. One of his first parts saw him play the role of "Huge Santa" in the cinematic Christmas comedy Jingle All The Way. Wight was competing in WCW as The Giant at the time he filmed the movie. Arnold Schwarzenegger features in the lead role as a father desperate to obtain a Turbo-Man (the latest must-have toy) for his son (played by young Anakin Skywalker, Jake Lloyd) at Christmas.

Schwarzenegger's character, Howard Langston, unwittingly ends up at a counterfeit toy production warehouse in his search for a Turbo-Man. When Langston becomes aware that the toy he has been sold is not genuine, a fight soon breaks out between him and the warehouse workers - all of whom are dressed as Santa.

The brawl starts out well for Langston, as he easily deals with most of the workers. However, things take a turn for the worst when a much-larger Santa appears - in the shape of the now-WWE Superstar.

The slapstick fight which follows is quite entertaining and gives a glimpse of The Big Show's ability to play a engaging character - something which we have seen plenty of over the years in WWE.
