Chavo Guerrero wants to direct.
Over the past number of years, Chavo Guerrero has cemented himself as a big player in Hollywood, but not in the way that you would think.
Instead of becoming an full-time actor, Guerrero has instead lent his knowledge of the wrestling world to many major productions such as 'The Iron Claw, 'GLOW', and 'Young Rock'.
While speaking to Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated for a new interview, Guerrero noted that he's learned so much about wrestling from just paying attention over the year before saying that his next goal in Hollywood is to direct a movie or television series.
"I’m one of those guys who learns from watching. I was backstage in WWE and WCW, learning from the best in pro wrestling–I learned from Vince McMahon, Kevin Dunn, Triple H, and Eric Bischoff. When I became supervising producer on Lucha Underground, which was a TV show about wrestling, I was speaking with cameramen and directors, and about wardrobe and set design. The question I kept getting asked was, ‘How do you know all this stuff?’ I’m a third-generation pro wrestler, so a lot of this has been in my life for a long time. That’s when I started to realize there were other opportunities for me. Then I went to GLOW and Young Rock, and now with The Iron Claw, I keep learning so much. My next goal is to direct. That’s where I envision this going."
'The Iron Claw' is still playing in over 1,500+ theaters in the United States. Fans can find showtimes for the movie here.
