The Undertaker spent most of his professional career in front of cameras in WWE, but he has done some acting roles over the years.
This list includes picks ranging from live-action to animated roles, as well as credits for The Undertaker and Mark Calaway.
These are The Undertaker’s five best acting roles.
Suburban Commando (1991)
The Undertaker (credited as Mark Calaway) made a cameo in this Hulk Hogan-led comedy film, as an intergalactic bounty hunter named Hutch.
This is perhaps The Phenom’s best-known acting role (and earliest). He got to spar with Hulk Hogan’s Shep on the screen, but it’s not exactly a fond memory for The Undertaker.
“Worst movie ever,” he once told Peter Rosenberg. “It was awful. Truly, truly awful.”
Poltergeist: The Legacy (1999)
The Undertaker made a guest appearance on the Canadian horror series Poltergeist: The Legacy. He portrayed a character referred to as “The Soul Chaser” demon.
The Soul Chaser was a powerful demon that hunted for souls in hell and the netherworld. This was also around the time of his Ministry of Darkness gimmick, so it wasn’t too much of a stretch.
The Undertaker appeared on two episodes of the show in season 4, “Brother’s Keeper” and “The Mephisto Strain”.
Downtown (1999)
The Undertaker loves to make ’em rest in peace, but he hates adults dressed up in weirdo costumes. Taker lent his voice to this MTV animated series where he portrayed an exaggerated version of his WWE character that saved a comic book collector at a convention.
Downtown was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program, but the series was cancelled after airing 13 total episodes.
Scooby-Doo! and WWE: Curse of the Speed Demon (2016)
WWE and Hanna-Barbera teamed up for a series of animated films and this one was arguably the best of the bunch.
This film sees the Mystery Inc. team try to stop Inferno, a phantom racer that wants to sabotage the WWE City “Muscle Moto X” race. The Undertaker gets a feature role here, as he declares vengeance against Inferno. He even does some comedy (with the help of a puppet) and gets to show some range that he normally wouldn’t outside of WWE.
Escape The Undertaker (2021)
This project is notable because it marks the first appearance of The Undertaker in character in a live action movie. It also happens to be a really fun and interactive experience.
Escape The Undertaker is a choose-your-own-adventure from Netflix that is in the same vein as Bear Grylls’ You vs. Wild. The New Day co-starred as they try to survive a night at The Undertaker’s spooky mansion. Fans get to decide their fate, with multiple stories along the way.
