And I think he knows that that could be a really great stroke of genius in casting me to play him.”

Hauser went on to say that he wanted to make sure he was playing the part of a wrestler for the right reasons. He stated that he wanted to make sure there was a real story.

The Emmy Award-winning actor went on to note that he could be a good fit for someone like Foley.

“I’ve got to look enough like the guy. So, I don’t think I’ll be playing Steve Austin, but I could maybe play a Mick Foley or a Jim Neidhart,” Hauser said.
