Hollywood Name ‘Approached’ For Mick Foley Biopic

A Hollywood name who is no stranger to the ring has been tapped to star in a biopic of WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley.

While the project is yet to be officially announced, it appears that development is underway for the author of a number of best-selling autobiographies.

It also turns out that Paul Walter Hauser, the Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy Award winner actor has been approached for a role.

Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, the actor revealed that he has been in discussion with producers, saying:

“I won’t get into details, but I’ve been approached about it, and we’re talking to the producers right now, and we’ve been in discussion for a while.

“I also got approached to play two other people in the wrestling world in the last couple of months alone. So I’m just kind of like waiting it out to see what what rises to the top. Because movie-making is so weird. It might seem like a sure thing, and it goes away, and then sometimes something just pops up out of nowhere.”

With that said, Hauser would go on to share his vision of a Mick Foley biographical mini-series aimed at television, stating:

“The way we’re talking about it, I want to do a Mick Foley limited series, do like a four to six episode thing, and be able to tell the story a little more fully and not just be like, remember the time you fell off the cage?

“It’s like, the guy’s done so much more than that. He deserves more respect than that, too.”

Hauser made his in-ring debut for Ring of Honor at Death Before Dishonor in August of this year, losing to QT Marshall.

He is no stranger to wrestling on the independent circuit, being the current PROGRESS Proteus Champion in the United Kingdom based promotion.

Mick Foley has previously shared a health update, suggesting that he feels better than he expected considering his in-ring career.
