Paul Walter Hauser: I Am Talking To Mick Foley About Potentially Playing Him

Paul Walter Hauser might play Mick Foley in a future project. He says he is talking to the WWE Hall of Famer about it.

Speaking with Mike Roe of TheWrap, Paul Walter Hauser discussed his love for wrestling and noted that he was talking to Mick Foley about potentially playing him.

“I’m literally talking to Mick Foley right now about the potential of playing him in a movie or limited series,” Hauser said. “I don’t know which and I don’t know how, but he and I have become friendly. And I think he knows that that could be a really great stroke of genius in casting me to play him.”

Hauser went on to say that he wanted to make sure he was playing the part of a wrestler for the right reasons.

“A couple of people have approached me to potentially play different wrestlers in different projects, and for me, I just have to make sure that there’s a real story there and I’m not just doing it because I’m a fan,” Hauser said.

The Emmy Award-winning actor went on to note that, with his body type, he could be a good fit for someone like Foley.

“I’ve got to look enough like the guy. So, I don’t think I’ll be playing Steve Austin, but I could maybe play a Mick Foley or a Jim Neidhart,” Hauser said.
