15 Top Athletes Turned Actors

9. Jenner Was an On Screen Presence Several Decades Before Hitting Reality TV

Jenner rose to fame as “The World’s Greatest Athlete” back when Caitlyn, previously Bruce, was a track and field Olympic champ in the 1970s. Athletes weren’t really considered celebrity-grade back then, and having your face on a Wheaties box was about all you could get to keep your name in the limelight. Jenner then tried to pursue acting, getting a few mediocre roles in The Golden Moment, Grambling’s White Tiger and CHiPs. Fast forward to today, and the transgender advocate has more fame and film time than anyone could wish for, as part of the ever-present Kardashian/Jenner clan. Be careful what you wish for.
