Jack Palance used to box as a heavyweight.
Alex Garcia was in a film with james woods and louis gossett Jnr...can't remeber what it's called...
Lou Savarese was in an episode of sopranos.
Midnight Sting, haven't seen or heard of that for ages!
Midnight Sting is a good film, bit cheesey, but has some funny moments, and James Woods is always good to watch.
Randell Cobb is also in it.

Did anyone mention Mickey Rourke?

His nickname seems to have been 'El Marielito' - anyone know what that means?

Tyson had another cameo in Play It to the Bone.
Randall Cobb's been in loads (check IMDB), including an episode of Miami Vice. Don King also appeared in the show; as a dodgy promoter - funnily enough.

Ali was in another movie after the Greatest - it is plugged in his third interview with Parkinson.
Ray Leonard has been in a couple of lesser films. If you type Ray Leonard on a search in play.com or something - you will see it is available on DVD.

Just read that Robinson was in Candy.
Worst film I've ever seen and didn't even recognise him.
