How many movies was Randy Orton in? Exploring the WWE legend's film history

Over the years, many WWE Superstars have taken to the acting industry, and Randy Orton was no exception. The 14-time world champion had a brief run in Hollywood, with his first role being in a 2011 comedy-drama film. Randy Orton's movies follow a common theme: laced with comedy or nonstop action.

After multiple appearances on American television shows, Randy Orton bagged his first role in Michael Pavone's That's What I Am. As Ed Freel, Orton played the role of a father whose rebellious son undergoes a major transformation in his behavior and tolerance.

A former U.S. Marine, Orton was initially set to be an integral part of The Marine franchise, but fellow superstars Ted DiBiase and The Miz eventually replaced him.

He eventually got a titular role in the 2013 film 12 Rounds 2: Reloaded. A sequel to 2009's 12 Rounds starring John Cena, Orton (Nick Malloy) plays a dangerous game to save his family from an unknown identity.
