can you name an other BRITISH footballer who has made it as a footballer and a film star (hollywood) can you name another who has made it big time as a sucessful film star other players have been in small clips but vinny is the only one to do so  this will give you something to think about  |

Stan Collymore was in Basic Instinct 2. Although only for a short time, so yes and no. And Cantona, but no and yes.
I haven't a clue, i suspect someone can tell. Oh and Best, so yes and yes. Sorta.

Well clearly two ex STFC legends, Mike Summerbee and Osvaldo Ardiles, exhibited not only their thespian talents but football skills as well in Escape To Victory.
This would be the only example of a club having two ex players, in a film directed by a someone who'd also directed the likes of Bogart and Hepburn.

Was John Wark not also in escape to victory?
John Fashanu hosted gladiators? Not a movie I know but still on the box.

Yeah Johnny Wark was in there along with pretty much all of the Ipswich squad at the time as it was filmed close to their training ground I believe, I certainly remember O'Callaghan, Beattie, Wark, Osman, Sivell, Cooper and Turner....I love that film! |

I'm sure I read that Wark's voice was dubbed as no-one could understand him. Apparently the first he knew about it was a the screening, and he was not happy.
