Rey Mysterio needs no introduction. The masked Luchador has captivated an entire generation of WWE fans with his acrobatics and underdog storylines. Despite having a short stature, the 48-year-old has proved he can go toe-to-toe with the big guys in the WWE. Mysterio’s popularity isn’t just due to his in-ring prowess; it is also because of his colorful masks that sell like hotcakes. As WWE fans, we know the former WWE champion’s work within the ring, but did you know of his work on the silver screen?

Ahead of Rey’s new animated TV show, let’s take a look at the movies the leader of the Latino World Order has starred in.

Rey Mysterio’s Hollywood filmography

The very first Hollywood media that Rey starred in was a documentary TV show for Eastern Championship Wrestling. Mysterio appeared in three episodes in 1995 in the show that ran from 1993-2000s. The ECW show featured names like Tommy Dreamer, Terry Funk, The Sandman, Tazz, Sabu, and many more icons of the industry. This would be his start, but this was not the big Hollywood movie WWE stars wanted to be in. That would come in 2000.
