WILDSIDE
TERRY FUNK as
Prometheus Jones
Terry Funk is one of professional
wrestling’s “Living Legends”. He brought more in the way of wrestling
skills & personality than acting talents to the undemanding role of
Wildside's gentle, not-too-bright, veterinarian and strongman
Prometheus
Jones. His “super power” as part of the Wildside Five was
fancy roping, sometimes getting two bad guys simultaneously with separate
ropes. He also managed to crack a skull or two with his head and
even added flying drop kicks borrowed from his wrestling days. His
strength came in handy when heavy objects needed to be moved. When
more firepower was needed, he sometimes wielded a shotgun.
Terry Funk’s acting credit’s
list isn’t lengthy. He had a nice role as the bouncer fired by Patrick
Swayze in “Roadhouse” and a few other minor movie credits
