Philadelphia Phillies center fielder Shane Victorino will be guest starring on “Hawaii Five-O” tonight. While his personality is meant for TV, he’s got a long way to go before we can call his guest appearance one of the best in television history. Here are some of my personal favorite athletes to try their luck on TV over the years.
5. Mike Tyson
Sure they called him Frederick Tatum on “The Simpsons”, but lets be honest with ourselves. He was a boxer and a convicted felon who was a splitting image of Iron Mike! It’s just a shame though that we never got to see the end of that fight between Tatum and Homer Simpson.
4. Hulk Hogan
Shane Victorino isn’t the first guy to try acting in the tropics. I know a lot of people are going to be mad at me for calling Hulk Hogan an athlete, but Hulkamaniacs went wild for “Thunder in Paradise” in the nineties. (No matter how unrealistic it was)
3. Chris Webber
I would have never thought that Chris Webber had a dark side. That was until he was arrested for murder on an episode of “New York Undercover.”
2. Peyton Manning
Rumors of Peyton Manning being Mr. Funny Guy were questioned until his appearance on Saturday Night Live. Who can forget his United Way skit?
1. Julius Erving
Who else could get Dr. J to hang out in a trash can but The Grouch? Shane Victorino has some big shoes to fill on “Hawaii Five-O” if he thinks he can do better than Julius Erving on “Seasame Street.”
