Vinnie Jones
This English actor and singer began his career as a professional soccer player, believe it or not! He played a midfielder from 1984 to 1999, most notably for Wimbledon, Leeds United, Sheffield United, Chelsea, Queens Park Rangers, and Wales. Noted for his very aggressive style of play, Jones was a defensive midfielder and earned himself a “hard man” image on the field. Ever since he’s been retired from soccer, he’s used his tough-guy image and became an actor known for his fiery demeanor and physical presence. For the most part, his roles have been as criminals and thugs. So far, he’s appeared in movies like X-men: The Last Stand, and in shows like Arrow.
