Some could certainly act feigning an injury etc.

Adam Fogerty is the obvious one. Last thing I saw him in was BBCs interpretation of The Gallows Pole by Benjamin Myers.

Thats a good call as just looked on his IMDb page and reminds how swallow and false of the Tv and film industry is this stuff is lower tier.

Ian Roberts has a better IMDB CV - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1345123/?ref_=fn_al_nm_2 - and was a better player, too.

I didn't realise that Ian Roberts was in the 2020 remake of Fantasy Island.  They really went in a different direction for Tattoo didn't they.

Because IMDB has lists for absolutely everything, I thought I'd take a look for credited actors who played Rugby League at some point in their youth. This is what I found, as well as the names listed above.

Peter O'Toole
Russell Crowe
Lincoln Lewis (son of Wally)
Matt Nable
Phil Gwilliam
Kaine Bennett Charleston
Rob Jenkins
Reece Kirk

Two Cursaders old boys.....Stuart Reardon has done plenty of modelling shoots and also done some online fitness programmes; I'm sure he'd be up to some acting opportunities. Gareth Thomas would be a natural.

A more recent retiree who would make a decent fist of an acting career would be Kyle Amor...always comes across well when commenting as a pundit.

You missed the most high-profile ex-Cru model in Nick Youngquest, who's been on British TV more than most players with his appearances in scent adverts. Not all models can make it as actors - Charlize Theron did it very successfully, while Naomi Campbell very much didn't.

His name could be in this list (because I don't know it) He was a long running Emmerdale Actor and I saw him turn out for Saints in a pre season friendly with Wakey.
