Kevin Nash responds to not getting brought in for "Deadpool & Wolverine".
WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash has ventured into acting throughout his career. He previously played The Russian in "The Punisher", so he is part of the Marvel film universe. Like other FOX characters like Blade and Elektra, who were brought back for "Deadpool & Wolverine", The Russian appeared in the movie, but Nash did not reprise the role. Instead, Billy Clements played the part.
Speaking on his Kliq This podcast, Kevin Nash commented on someone else playing The Russian in "Deadpool & Wolverine".
“Obviously, I’m not…that looks nothing like the character I played. That looks nothing like The Russian. Looks like they gave somebody a favor," Nash said.
Kevin Nash went on to make it clear that he was not trolling for movie parts, as he highlighted the schedule that acting required. He also brought up the importance of knowing your lines.
"I love when people say, ‘Oh, Nash is trolling for movie parts.’ Again, I’m 65 years old. What I wanna do in life is I wanna go someplace that is not my crib and be in a hotel and work a 12-hour day and then leave and go home, and while I cook and prepare my meal and eat it, go over lines for tomorrow, and then while I sit in make-up the next day, have somebody run lines with me, and then every time I get a break, run lines again before we shoot a scene or a scene we’re not in, find somebody to run lines with. The key for anybody that’s ever acted in their life, once you get your lines, find the character number one, if you don’t know your lines, you can’t fucking get the job done. Period," Nash said.
