Pixar, pro wrestling and plenty in between

DETROIT Paul Walter Hauser has nothing to be embarrassed about. Seven years after his breakout in "I, Tonya," the Saginaw, Mich., native is one of Hollywood's busiest actors, and he has a full dance card that will keep him busy for the next several years.

Hauser is in Atlanta where he just wrapped filming on the reboot of "The Naked Gun" with a cast that includes Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson. He's soon headed to Australia to shoot a comedy with Peter Farrelly, and then it's off to the U.K. to work on the new "Fantastic Four" project, his first foray into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The "Black Bird" Golden Globe and Emmy winner is also set to appear in the upcoming Bruce Springsteen biopic "Deliver Me From Nowhere," he'll play Chris Farley in a movie about the iconic "SNL" comedian's life, he's starring in a movie about the 1980s game show scandal that rocked "Press Your Luck," and he's already wrapped Doug Liman's heist thriller The Instigators," with Matt Damon and Casey Affleck, which is due out in August.

And he's balancing his screen work with what he calls his "real hustle," his budding pro wrestling career (he even has his own wrestling action figure), and he'll face off against fellow Michigan grappler Danhausen at an event on Saturday in Clive, Iowa.
