Being a WWE star and arguablyESPN’s most recognized personalityapparently isn’t enough for Pat McAfee.
The former Colts punter, who’s became aglobal celebrity in his post-football career, has hired super agent Ari Emanuel to help him land TV and movie roles in Hollywood,according to Bloomberg.
The outlet reported Tuesday that Emanuel, whose client list includes Seth McFarlane and Larry David, has the goal of transforming the ex-NFL player “into the next Sylvester Stallone.”
Emanuel has already booked McAfee into the next season ofStallone’s “Tulsa King,”according to Bloomberg. The executive chairman of WME Group has also gotten his new, 38-year-old client a role in “The Mosquito Bowl,” a Peter Berg flick that’s slated to come out soon.
McAfee and Emmanuel have ties through WWE, a promotion that’s owned by the agent’s TKO Group.

McAfee logged snaps in Indianapolis from 2009 through 2016, and evolved into a beloved sports commentator in retirement.
His “Pat McAfee Show” is one of the most popular sports programs on the planet, and he’s been lauded for his role as a “College GameDay” analyst too.
Up next seems to be an attempt at a Tinsel Town takeover, and if his previous conquests are any indication, it won’t be long before he’s got quite the resume there as well.
