While Hollywood used to scout professional football for huge, tough-guy actors, it has now turned to the wrestling ring.

Having wrestled in the '90s under the names Kurrgan and The Interrogator, the seven-foot-tall actor hailing from the rural town of Sainte-Marie-de-Kent, N.B., in Canada, played Dredger in 2009's "Sherlock Holmes."

It's time for a pop quiz! Put the words "American" and "cooking" together and what do they spell? If you answered "barbecue," give yourself a pat on the back (and maybe a bite of some tasty brisket).

Q: Christina Applegate has some very insightful comments as a judge on "So You Think You Can Dance" -- does she have a background in dancing?

She does indeed, though she said recently that she's had to give it up.

The 41-year-old actress, best known as dim but beautiful Kelly Bundy on the classic Fox sitcom "Married ... With Children," is actually a Tony-nominated song-and-dance star.

She received the Tony nod for best actress for her turn in the musical "Sweet Charity" in 2005, though she had a rough time getting there.
