Even prior to his last fight in 2011, Randy Couture had been in the business of racking up acting credits. Notably, he has starred in The Expendables franchise, had a recurring character on Hawaii Five-0, played himself on Ballers, and has been working steadily since his retirement. Couture has pursued his career in front of the camera with the same determination and competitiveness that marked his time in the Octagon.
“Acting is still a very physical gig. You’re out competing with other guys for that role or that stunt. I think both my business endeavors and acting still fulfill that competitive void that I left when I left competitive MMA,” Couture told MMA Weekly.
