Paul Walter Hauser Says He’s Been Approached About Playing Mick Foley In A Biopic

Paul Walter Hauser is an Emmy winner who has proven himself in the ring, competing against the likes of Joey Janela and QT Marshall, and wrestling during WrestleMania weekend and for ROH.

Hauser has specialized in hardcore matches, and could possibly play a hardcore icon on the silver screen.

Speaking to Chris Van Vliet on Insight, Hauser discussed a potential Mick Foley biopic.

“I won’t get into details, but I’ve been approached about it, and we’re talking to the producers right now, and we’ve been in discussion for a while. I also got approached to play two other people in the wrestling world in the last couple of months alone. So I’m just kind of like waiting it out to see what what rises to the top. Because movie making is so weird. It might seem like a sure thing, and it goes away, and then sometimes something just pops up out of nowhere. The way we’re talking about it, I want to do a Mick Foley limited series, do like a four to six episode thing, and be able to tell the story a little more fully and not just be like, remember the time you fell off the cage? It’s like, the guy’s done so much more than that. He deserves more respect than that, too,” said Hauser.

Elsewhere during the interview, Hauser discussed the possibility of Mark Wahlberg stepping in the ring. You can find his full comments here.
