I completely forgot O.J. I guess I have blocked him from my mind. Maybe I should do another poll of "best murderer who also acts" and he would likely win that (although Charles Dutton would get a lot of votes).
I eliminated people like Chuck Conners because he did not have much fame as an athlete (spent a lot of time in the minors), but if all athletes had been included I think Burt Lancaster would have won going away. I eliminated martial artists, because they tend to not do much actual acting in their movies (I guess Chuck Norris would be the main exception, and that was mostly on TV that he acted more). I also forgot Lou Ferrigno, but I doubt he would have gotten any votes.
