Top Actor Denies Rumor That He’ll Play Vince in Benoit Movie

January 17, 2012

According to WorstPreviews.com, film actor Liam Neeson has shot down rumors that he will be playing WWE Chairman Vince McMahon in the upcoming Chris Benoit biopic "Crossface." The following is an excerpt from the article:

"The Grey" director Joe Carnahan jumped in, telling Neeson: "I can't see you doing that dude [McMahon]." Neeson added: "No, I never heard of [the movie]." The actor went on to say that he has no interest in the role, mostly because he knows very little about McMahon, almost nothing about Benoit, and is not a fan of wrestling.

"Crossface" was announced early December. Casting is currently underway with plans of going into production during the fall of this year.

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films.
