HOOK Speaks About His Role In ‘MONEY TALK$’ Film, Says He’s Getting An Agent To Help Get His Name Out There

HOOK dives into his acting venture and aspirations.

It wasn’t until HOOK started wrestling that his interest in acting began to form.

New York City hosted the Tribeca Film Festival from June 4th to June 15th. One of the films showcased was titled ‘MONEY TALK$’ and it stars AEW’s HOOK.

The three-time FTW Champion promoted the film while guest appearing on Wrestling Observer Live. He got the role in the movie by way of his old college roommate, Tony Mucci, who is the director of the film.

“My best friend, Tony Mucci, the director of the film, we were roommates in college and we actually dropped out together and he went on to focus on directing and working in music videos and things of that nature and I went on to focus on pursuing professional wrestling, and now this is all coming back and this is his first film that he’s working on, as well as my first film that I’m acting in, and when we were in school living together, we were talking about ideas for this film back then. So it’s really cool to see it all come to fruition and everything that we said we were gonna do, we’ve done and it’s just a really good feeling and very awesome doing it with such a close friend.”

HOOK is interested in continuing to act and said he’s getting an agent to get the ball rolling.

“So I’m actually getting an agent and looking to get my name out there more and I really wanna pick up more roles and get more reps and book an audition and see what comes of it. I’ve loved film my entire life and I actually more loved it from a director’s point of view at first, and I never saw myself as a performer. I (was) always an athlete and until I started professional wrestling is when I started performing, and that’s when I opened my mind up more to the idea of being an actor, and once I was on set, I really fell in love with it, and I’m really hungry to do more and just hope to grow, get better and get more reps and see what comes of it.”

His most recent appearance on AEW programming was at Double or Nothing when he got involved in the Anarchy in the Arena match.

HOOK revealed that he’s been out of action with a concussion. He last wrestled on the April 9th edition of Dynamite.
