I’d say Kevin Garnett in Uncut Gems is the most shocking athlete performance since he’s playing himself as a full on dramatic role. Not self-aware or comedic like traditional celebrity movie cameos tend to be.

I honestly lost most of the respect I had for this list when Lebron was given Number 2. Any athlete who portrays themselves has a much easier road to walk than the athlete who should have been Number 1, Ray Allen. Ray Allen had to portray a High School prodigy with severe parental trauma and pressure and he does so like he had be acting for years. The way he internalizes and tries to keep his pain choked deep down is beautifully understated. It was a way tougher role to portray than Lebron and Garnett who were both portraying themselves and it was a dramatic role that required nuance and depth unlike Bautista's Drax or Arnold's Terminator.
@marxconrad5278
@marxconrad5278 3 жыл бұрын
I kinda of agree with Ray Allen supposed to ve higher, but as someone who took on acting, it's just as tough to portray yourself. Especially along great actors too. We always subconsciously put on an act when we portray ourselves towards other people therefore when we act as ourselves in movies we tend to be conscious and suddenly question ourselves.

Ok, Matty's role as the Newtown coach wasn't a huge stretch, but apparently he did a lot of preparation and was good in arguably the best rugby league movie ever. Of course, Matty was already known for his iconic character Reg Reagan on "The Footy Show", so his shift to movies wasn't a big surprise.

It was more of a cameo, but I really liked Boban Marjanovic in John Wick 3. Although he just had comedic lines and actions, him as an assassin is kind of scary too.
