WWE wrestler Paul “The Big Show” Wight’s body of work in Hollywood is growing almost as fast as his actual body did as a young man.
With all the new opportunities, including a recent run on Syfy’s “Happy!” and now his own Netflix family sitcom “The Big Show Show,” Wight’s had to accelerate the journey from crafting a pro-wrestling character to actually inhabiting roles. (OK, so “The Big Show Show” is essentially biographical.)
He’s had some good teachers — including the indirect ones.
“As an actor, I look at someone like Peter Dinklage, which you’d think is the opposite end of the spectrum,” Wight, who referred to Dinklage as his “hero,” told TheWrap.
