After hit 'Billions' cameo, WWE star Becky Lynch sets her eyes on Hollywood
Spoilers for 'Billions' Season 5 Episode 1 'The New Decas'
One of the highlights of 'The New Decas' was WWE star Becky Lynch's non-wrestling cameo. Those who recognized her would still be working on believing that she actually appeared on the show. This wasn't her first acting rodeo as Becky has appeared in a few commercials and has also been credited for a stunt for 'Vikings'.
Considering the sheer positive fan response, it shouldn't come as a surprise that Becky at some stage would probably make a movie debut. She isn't the first though. One of the most successful fighters to have carved an acting career in Hollywood is Ronda Rousey. To her credit, Rousey has starred in top flicks— 'Furious 7', 'The Expendables 3', 'Entourage', 'Mile 22', and 'Charlie's Angels'. Throw in some TV shows like '9-1-1' and 'Total Divas' to the list, there's enough that Rousey has done to make a career in Hollywood.
Becky, on her part already signed up as a voice artist 'Rumble', a computer-animated sports comedy film directed by Hamish Grieves set to release in 2021. So, if anything, this is just the start of what could be a lucrative career option. According to TV Insider, Becky has kept herself pretty busy during the quarantine.
"We’re quite lucky because Seth [Rollins, WWE superstar and Lynch's fiancé] has a gym here in Iowa. We at least have that to go to and train every day. So, lots of training and catching up on shows. I’d never seen 'Game of Thrones'. I watched the whole eight seasons in two weeks. Now, [I'm busy with] reading and acting lessons and all those good things."
Coming back to Rousey, 'Furious 7' and 'The Expendables 3' were some of the money-raking projects. With 'Billions', it is safe to assume Becky will most definitely be in consideration for upcoming high-octane action flicks that would have fans pleased. Adding to her advantage is the fact that she has, in fact, attending acting school. Becky attended Columbia College Chicago and Gaiety School of Acting. She graduated with a bachelor's degree in acting from the Drama and Music Conservatory of the Dublin Institute of Technology.
Simply put, Becky has all the credentials needed to make it big in the world of cinema. Her acting chops were on full display in 'Billions' and it's only a matter of time before we see the current 'RAW Women's Champion' strike it big in Hollywood.
