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

In the not-so-grand tradition that gave us Hulk Hogan and Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson, Robert Maillet is pro wrestling's latest addition to the actors guild.

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."
