When you’re a wrestling fan, seeing an old WWE or WCW star in a movie is the ultimate easter egg. Here are some of the greatest wrestler cameos in classic movies, including some you may have missed.

Perhaps the most beloved wrestling cameo of all time is Andre the Giant‘s role in The Princess Bride. Andre played Fezzik, a gentle giant who thrives as one of the film’s main companions.

The role meant so much to Andre that he reportedly held VHS screenings of the movie before The Princess Bride had even hit theaters. It was a transformative role for the giant, and it gave Andre something beautiful to enjoy as his body was failing.

Here’s a cameo you’ve definitely seen, but may have missed its connection to wrestling. Remember Kurrgan from The Oddities? He played one of the most monstrous soldiers in the historical epic 300.

Kurrgan was cast as the Über-Immortal, a berserker who was part of the Persian imperial guard. Arguably the best fight scene in the movie, Kurrgan‘s character tore through the Spartans until facing King Leonidas, who drove a knife into Kurrgan‘s eye and decapitated him. Not bad for a former jobber.
