Five actors who made us believe they were athletes
1 Kevin Costner, Bull Durham
Especially when he told that batboy to shut up. Also: Tin Cup, American Flyers, For Love of the Game.
2 Robert De Niro, Raging Bull
Dropped f-bombs with the best of them. Also: Bang the Drum Slowly.
3 Paul Newman, Slap Shot
He lied, he cheated, he played dirty like a pro. Also: Somebody Up There Likes Me, The Hustler, Winning, The Color of Money.
4 Dennis Quaid, Everybody’s All-American
You could hear his body creak. Also: Breaking Away, Tough Enough, Any Given Sunday, The Rookie.
5 Sylvester Stallone, Rocky
OK, maybe it wasn’t all acting. Also: Rocky II, Rocky III, Rocky IV, Rocky V, Over the Top, Driven.
And five who didn’t
1 William Bendix, The Babe Ruth Story
Chester A. Riley as Babe Ruth. The gold standard of bad acting in a sports movie.
2 Charlton Heston, No. 1
Just because football is a religion for some, it doesn’t mean Moses is an NFL quarterback.
3 Michael J. Fox, Teen Wolf
As a werewolf/basketball player, he came up a little short.
4 Corbin Bernsen, Major League
This guy played third base like … a lawyer.
5 Alan Alda, Paper Lion
Actually, he did make us believe he was an unathletic writer trying to be an athlete.
