Crossover between different entertainment fields has increased, but that is nothing new, and neither is the overlap between athletics and Hollywood. Good athletes are able to work long hours, take direction and critique, which are all key skills for actors too.

For some, the change has been slow, while others have achieved a perfect balance between athletics and acting.
