Randy Couture goes from UFC to Hollywood Movie Gig

By DHB (June 21, 2006)

Randy Couture who made an excellent name for himself by showcasing his skills in the Octogan, UFC... is now taking his skills elsewhere. And this time the skills he will be using won't be his fighting ability. Rather his acting ability. He's

going Hollywood. The Calgary Sun reports that Randy Couture is returning to the cage...well, sort of. This time though, the cage is Prison.

Couture is filming a prison comedy with actor Rob Schneider (Benchwarmers, Men Behaving Badly) in California.

The Calgary Sun quotes Couture yesterday about his role: "I play a prisoner."

Adding: "There are no fight scenes. I'd prefer to not have any fight scenes. It's kinda nice to get some work in this genre and not have to fight. Even better...no love scenes."
