I agree besides my objections. Maybe should change the title to pro athletes, in unscripted sport

"Star athlete" to me loosely means you won an individual title or made the all-star team in the top division of a legitimate sports.  So that eliminates all the wrestling actors, Schwarzenegger, people like Terry Crews who got cut from 5 different NFL teams or Kurt Russell who only played minor league baseball.  Conversely, people like Shaq definitely make the "star athlete" cut, but aren't great actors.

OJ Simpson, Vinnie Jones, Jim Brown, Fred Dryer were all "star" athletes as well as good actors with successful acting careers.

This is the winner.

He had a star career as a NFL player and a highly successful career as a legit actor.

I guess I would go with The Rock or Ahnold for ESPN Ocho sports

But if you’re talking mainstream sports (baseball/football), I gotta give it to The Juice.

yeah but he's kinda like nick cage

he just plays "himself"

Top 10 for sure, but the Rock playing himself in 87 movies seems like bullshit

Even Ahnold had more range

Geena Davis was a great actor who became an athlete, but since she didn't get an Olympic medal I don't think you can consider her a star athlete.
