Paul Walter Hauser has become an in-demand actor, from his Golden Globe and Emmy-winning turn in “Black Bird” to playing other real-life figures in movies like “I, Tonya” and “Richard Jewell.” But he’s found a new passion to pursue in between his latest TV and movie appearances — professional wrestling.
He’s about to wrestle in his biggest match yet, literally: a 40-person battle royal for the MLW promotion at “Battle Riot VI” on Saturday, June 1 in Atlanta, with the winner getting a shot immediately after the match at the league’s world title.
Possible future project: Playing hardcore wrestling legend Mick Foley
He’s had several matches in the soap opera world of pro wrestling so far, largely including so-called “hardcore” bouts featuring the use of weapons and other death-defying stunts.
