Monday on “The Rich Eisen Show,” actor Craig T. Nelson shared who he thought is the best athlete-turned-actor, with the voice from “The Incredibles” naming John Wayne.
Wayne played football at the University of Southern California before a broken collarbone ended his career.
“I would say John Wayne,” Nelson told host Rich Eisen. “I think what he did in ‘The Shootist’ — actually, John Wayne started to develop as an actor so much later, he ceased to be what he was.”
He added, “You know, you watch ‘The Searchers,’ and you all of a sudden begin to see this developing actor and understanding.”
