Chris Jericho is looking to book a new gig outside of wrestling.
Jericho has already transcended wrestling with his success in music as the lead singer of Fozzy and other successful ventures such as his annual cruise. Jericho has starred in movies and television shows, and one particular film led to another offer on the opposite end of genre spectrum.
"I did a movie a few years ago called Terrifier 2. This movie came out in the fall and Art The Clown is the big killer. It's so violent, it was in theaters for one day. Somebody threw up, that got around, this thing ended up being in theaters for a month and it ended up making $10 million on a $200,000 budget. I was in this movie, I was a big fan of Terrifier 1, and I was in Terrifier 2. 'Oh, I got an offer to do this horror movie.' I was just reading an offer, which as you know in Hollywood, an offer means they're giving you the part, for a Hallmark movie. How the fuck am I in a Hallmark movie? How did Terrifier 2 lead to a Hallmark movie? 'Well, he did pretty good in that.' The point is, why wouldn't I do it because it might lead to something else. 'I want to be a Hollywood movie star,' no, but I like acting and if the Hallmark channel calls, why wouldn't I give it a try?" Jericho said on The Sessions with Renee Paquette.
Jericho and Renee then joked about working with Candace Cameron Bure, who has starred in multiple Halmark films.
Inside the ring, Jericho teamed with Daniel Garcia & Sammy Guevara to defeat Top Flight (Darius & Dante Martin) & AR Fox on Wednesday's AEW Dynamite. Fans can find results from AEW Dynamite by clicking here.
