The WWE Studios film "Big Red" which stars Randy Orton as well as actors Ed Harris and Amy Madigan, completed principal shooting on 3/19, according to NOLA.com, which interviewed Orton for a piece on the film.

Set in the 1960s, the family drama centers around a bright 12-year-old boy whose English teacher (Harris) pairs him up on a project with the school’s biggest outcast and social pariah, Stanley (aka “Big Red”). When Andy watches Stanley fearlessly confront a school bully, a series of events is unleashed that changes the lives of the boys and their teacher.

Orton plays the role of the bully's father, an adversary to Harris' character, in the film.

Ed can certainly out-act him, & probably out-wrestle him as well.

^^^I agree that Ed Harris can certainly out-act Orton, but to say he can out-wrestle him is ridiculous at best. Orton would stomp a mud-hole in him and squash him in less than a minute flat.

Nevertheless, I am interested in seeing how well Orton can act outside of a WWE ring, when it is another character he has to portray, not just a dark, demented side of himself.

Exactly; His in-ring (speaking) character is part of/based in him. Search him all you want for ring talent, & find nothing there.
