Line 88:
* In another video game example, Young Maylay had no prior acting experience before he voiced Carl Johnson in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]''. He is glad that the game brought him into mainstream recognition, but he felt frustrated about being more associated with playing the role of CJ than his rapping career. It later culminated into a furious tirade against Rockstar after he has had enough of fans who kept on pestering him about starring in the next GTA. While Maylay's rants were criticized by many as being immature and unprofessional, his cousin Shawn Fonteno (who voiced a gang member in ''San Andreas'' and later starred in ''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]'') acknowledged and understood Maylay's sentiments, while at the same time left a more level-headed and reasonable response to the issue.
* Formula 1 driver Niki Lauda co-starred in the little-known [[Made for TV Movie]] ''[[Top Kids]]'' as a Doc Brown-esque guide to a teenage boy named Eric, played by ''[[Airplane!]]'' alum Rossie Harris (i.e. the boy who rubbed elbows with [[Kareem Abdul Jabbar]] and read ''Nun's Life'' magazine).
* Prior to Pacquiao, Gabriel "Flash" Elorde appeared in a number of films to capitalise on the success of his boxing career. He played [[As Himself]] in the autobiographical film ''The Flash Elorde Story'' in 1961 and alongside [[Fernando Poe Jr.]] in ''Mano-mano'' (1964). Elorde was also remembered for a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tw7XcmqnCOs San Miguel Beer commercial] where he appeared alongside notable Filipino celebrities Bert Marcelo and Rico J. Puno, uttering "... isang platitong mani!" (A plate of peanuts!).
