AEW World Tag Team Champion and Hurt Syndicate member Shelton Benjamin appeared on the Energis podcast to discuss various topics, including his interest in pursuing acting roles and voiceover work outside of professional wrestling.
Benjamin said, “I’m excited with them. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do. That and voiceovers. I’m a big kid. Not only am I a big kid, I’m a big geek. I went to San Diego Comic Con for the first time and I had to give my agent my wallet (because I didn’t trust myself). There’s no way. Every penny I made signing autographs would have gone to buying stuff. With acting and ventures I want to get into, I’m on the clock now. This stuff has to work. I don’t have time to wonder or hope. I try to pick up a breadcrumb as soon as I see it. If I hear something profound or even strange, I try to pick up on it as soon as possible. I’m on the clock. This has to work.”
