If there was ever a profession that could prepare you for the world of acting, it would be professional wrestling. Yes, most of you may be scratching your heads and wondering what we are talking about, but wrestling does prepare you in many ways.
One person who is definitely proving that point is professional wrestler Adam Copeland. Many of you may have known him for years as the Rated R Superstar Edge in the WWE, but now, he is kicking ass and taking names as Adam Copeland in All Elite Wrestling or AEW.
In one of his first acting jobs since joining AEW, Adam enters the Percy Jackson universe playing the God Ares in the Disney+ series Percy Jackson and the Olympians. To say he was perfect for the role is an understatement. We had the chance to sit down with Adam to talk about how wrestling prepared him for the role, what it was like working with his young costars and what fans can look forward to with his upcoming episode.
