After retiring from boxing, Tyson spent time carving out his acting portfolio. He appeared in projects like The Hangover and Law & Order. He also voiced his own animated cartoon show, Mike Tyson Mysteries, on Adult Swim. Although Tyson starred in comedies, he never fancied himself as a comedy actor. Rather, Tyson wanted to stretch his range by adopting a large variety of roles.
“I never look at myself as a comedy type of guy. I just do what the director tells me to do. But I would definitely like to play different types of roles. I like stage acting. That’s really who I am,...

Hunter McKnight’s final episode as a player on Survivor 46 aired recently, and the fan favorite has shared his thoughts on the season.
Only nine players remained after Tevin Davis got blindsided at a Tribal Council where Q Burdette caused chaos. And Hunter was the only person other than Tevin who had voted for someone else (they voted against Venus Vafa).
Venus was pretty ticked off that her name had been written down, and Hunter brushed aside her complaints. That might have been a mistake.
Some Survivor fans might argue that Hunter was already the biggest target left in the game due to how good he was at challenges.
Those same Survivor fans expressed anger and frustration when Hunter got voted out with an Immunity Idol still in his pocket.
Following his early exit on Survivor 46, Episode 9, Hunter has been answering questions about his time in Fiji.

Tyson was perhaps as surprised as some fans when he found out Madonna wanted him for a music video. The song “Iconic” was meant to be a sort of inspirational track, urging its listeners to achieve their goals. Acts like Madonna and Mike Tyson are both known for their rags-to-riches story, so it’s easy to see why Tyson’s presence could fit the song’s narrative. But when Madonna first contacted Tyson, appearing on her music video was the last thing he thought would happen.
“I didn’t know what the hell I was going there for.

Kentaro Miura’s Berserk is one of the top dark fantasy anime/manga to date, and Gut’s Dragon Slayer sword is featured in every image of the franchise. It has now become almost like a trademark for the protagonist to slug around the huge slab of iron.
However, it is because of the sword’s massive size that Guts can use it to slay the apostles of God. Every fallen apostle adds to the sword’s strength, making it more and more effective every kill. Let’s say that Dragon Slayer is no less popular than Guts himself.
So, indeed it should be surprising for Berserk fans to know that Miura might not like Gut’s sword as much as everyone else.

Actor Tye Sheridan spoke about his experience on the set of the drama Asphalt City in his new uInterview.
Asphalt City centers around a young paramedic (Sheridan), who is assigned the night shift with a seasoned New York City veteran (Sean Penn).
When asked how he was able to adapt his mindset to that of a medical worker, Sheridan told uInterview founder Erik Meers, “Paramedics are very unique. Really understanding from a technical standpoint how they operate, but also, what they experience on a day-to-day basis, on a more emotional, mental level as well, what are the things that they struggle with. I think was super crucial to us in understanding how to convey them in a really authentic light, and I think that was always the intention of the movie, to do something more authentic and something hyper-real.”
Sheridan continued, “We went on a lot of ride-alongside for years,...

Armageddon‘s quarter-century reign as the Hollywood movie running afoul of the most physics laws is over. Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson made the revelation during an interview on SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show to promote his new book, To Infinity and Beyond, highlighting glaring scientific inaccuracies in another space film, the 2022 Moonfall starring Halle Berry.
“Armageddon, you say, violates more laws of physics per minute than any other film ever made,” Cagle began.
‘Moonfall’
DeGrasse Tyson agreed, adding, “That’s what I thought until I saw Moonfall. It was a pandemic film that came out, you know, Halle Berry, and the moon is approaching Earth, and they learned that it’s hollow and there’s a moon being made out of rocks living inside of it and the Apollo missions were really to visit, to feed the moon being, and I just couldn’t, so I said, “Alright,...

Martial arts and stunt legend Scott Adkins got a chance to really go for it with his role in "John Wick: Chapter 4." After bugging franchise director Chad Stahelski for years to cast him in an actual role, the English stunt performer finally got his moment in the spotlight, playing the German head of the High Table, who's basically the bad boss at the end of the video game, Killa Harkan.
The hulking crime boss was a truly unique role for the prolific martial arts actor, who was previously known for his performance in "Undisputed II" and for playing karate expert and cartoonishly racist Marine gunnery sergeant Barton Geddes in "Ip Man 4: The Finale." That role saw him act opposite Hong Kong martial arts legend Donnie Yen, who would once again find himself faced with one of Adkins' grotesque villains in "John Wick: Chapter 4." But Killa Harkan was...

One way the feature could’ve stood out from his previous Rocky films was by pitting Balboa against real-life boxing legend Mike Tyson. When Tyson heard about the possibility of a sixth Rocky film,...
