Back in 2009, Jeter acted in a film titled ‘The Other Guys.’ The film had famous actors, Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell in the lead. Another popular figure among the cast was WWE superstar turned actor Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. The story of the film revolves around two detectives played by Wahlberg and Ferrell.
The two protagonists vow to fight corruption, but their plans go awry. In the film, Wahlberg’s character once mistakenly shoots Jeter in a tunnel during a scene. As Jeter, playing himself, gets injured by a bullet during a World Series game, the Yankees lose. Therefore, Wahlberg’s character gets named ‘The Yankee Clipper’ for his actions.

He’s crooked. He’s real crooked.”
