Chris Jericho Talks About Branching Out From Wrestling, Acting, His Comedy Central Web Series
Former WWE Champion Chris Jericho spoke with the Tampa Tribune this weekend, where he spoke about his outside projects and his Comedy Central web series Nothing to Report. You can see highlights below:
Branching out beyond wrestling:
"When I was a kid, I wanted to be a wrestler and a rock star. I didn't see a reason I had to choose just one. I still don't. And here I am succeeding in both, and then some. I want to prove I can do it all in entertainment."
His acting gigs:
"It is very rare you get an opportunity like The Rock. You take the opportunities afforded to you. Everything that happens is another step up the ladder. I just need to prove myself."
His Comedy Central web series:
"Word got out about what I was doing, and Comedy Central called me and said they had a series for me. So I quit my job at the car wash to go off and become a Hollywood star. I think I have a great comedic sensibility. I'm getting opportunities to showcase it. That's all I need."
