Sure the movie was in a bit (ok, a lot) of bad taste, and Steve Parker did not actually win as “The Ringer” in the Special Olympics, but he was with a pre-obnoxious Katherine Heigl in the film so maybe we will cut him a break. The Bullet Points: Movie Appeared: Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2005) Actor: Johnny Knoxville Why you should vote for him: Other than Jackass related reasons, we don’t really have one. Why you should not vote for him: Again, he lost.
He wasn’t on Eastbound and Down for long, but we loved Jason Sudeikis as Shane Gerald, the friend and partner in debaucheries with Kenny “Fucking” Powers. We are wondering though, if maybe we should nominate the Catcher’s cocaine instead. The Bullet Points: TV Show Appeared: Eastbound and Down (2012) Actor: Jason Sudeikis Position Portrayed: Catcher Played for: Myrtle Beach Mermen Why you should vote for him: He was a great partner for Powers. Why you should not vote for him: Conceivably, this is not even among the top three characters of the show.
The idea of Kevin James working his way up to beat a UFC Heavyweight contender may be laughable, but the first big budget Mixed Martial Arts film had the blessing and support from UFC (making it at least look good) and was reasonably well done visually. We are very curious to see how this film ages and whether their inspirational message will have legs. If so, Scott Voss in the Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame is a possibility. The Bullet Points: Movie Appeared: Here Comes the Boom (2012) Actor: Kevin James Why you should vote for him: He raised the money, got the girl and won the fight. That is a sports movie trifecta. Why you should not vote for him: Although the King of Queens is not unathletic, he is not beating anyone in the UFC. {youtube}

At no point have we ever understood the appeal of Ryan O’Neal, and after re-watching “The Games” when he was young and about to become a star, we are even more confused. Frankly we wonder if Americans watching this movie were cheering against their country in this one. We know that we did. The Bullet Points: Movie Appeared: The Games (1970) Actor: Ryan O’Neal Ran for: The United States Why you should vote for him: Hmmmmm. All we got is “U.S.A.! U.S.A.!” Why you should not vote for him: Like we said, the American hero was….not much of one.
