Call him Big Daddy V, Viscera, King V, whatever. Real name Nelson Frazier, Jr., the former WWE King of the Ring is doing movies now while wrestling for the NWA on a frequent basis.

Frazier recently completed filming for a National Lampoon spoof of the "300" and "Troy" movies. The movie, starring former MadTV cast member Will Sasso, comes out in the beginning of 2009.

"National Lampoon's The Legend Of Awesomest Maximus" features Frazier in the role of "Ginormous" for obvious reasons of how large he is. Frazier says he's exploring movie roles before thinking about returning to WWE.

"I have another project coming up with Nicolas Cage called Kick Ass. I'm moving on to the big screen and I'm real happy about it," Frazier told Phil Strum of the Poughkeepsie (N.Y.) Journal.

"Now, I'm focusing on one thing. My ultimate dream was to become an actor. I'm going to concentrate on that for at least another couple of years before I go back to WWE. Of course, I'll go back. You know what I mean? That's my home. I'll go back eventually."

Frazier was last seen on WWE TV as part of the ECW brand feuding with C.M. Punk earlier this year before he was injured and subsequently released from his contract in August. Frazier says his doctor got him fired.

"Actually, the way I got released from the company this last time, it was a blessing in disguise," Frazier said. "My doctor really got me fired. The very next day, Hollywood called me."

He explained further: "My doctor and basically all doctors think that wrestlers are idiots for what we do for a living. He just basically shared his opinion on me and wrestling and WWE was forced to release me. They (WWE) wanted me to go out and wrestle and make sure I was okay and then they were going to bring me back. Unfortunately for them, Hollywood called me. So I'm free from them now and I'm going to stay free until I'm ready to go back."

Frazier also talks about his amateur wrestling background, how he got his size, and his high school choices of art or sports back in the day.
