Ted DiBiase Interview
By Eric Cohen, About.com Guide

In December of 2009, I had the opportunity to talk to Ted DiBiase. During this interview, we discussed The Marine 2, being a part of a wrestling family, and his future plans. In addition, Ted gives aspiring wrestlers some advice to make it in the business.

Eric: Congratulations on the upcoming release of your movie The Marine 2. Can you tell me a little about the film?

Ted DiBiase: It’s a lot like the first one, except that it is in a secluded resort. We filmed it in Thailand. What happens is I’m with my wife. She does PR for this company. She is helping to open this resort for this billionaire in the fictional island of Kassain. It is her business trip but we use it as a vacation at the same time too. At a dinner part one night, some terrorists storm the island and take over the resort. In the process they take hostages including the billionaire owner and my wife along with several other people.

(John) Cena saved his wife in the first movie, and I actually saved an entire resort. So I’ve got one up on Cena. After they take over, I go in and take matters into my own hands. I’m a sniper in the movie so I go in and save the day.

UGO's editorial head honcho and slobbering wrestling fan Chris Radtke got a chance to interview Ted DiBiase, Jr. about his new movie, The Marine II. Here is the conversation between the two new BFFs...

Did you have the same reaction as I did when you heard Ted DiBiase, Jr. was starring in The Marine II? "WTF? Really?" And then you watch it. It's pretty friggin' good. Probably the best we've seen from WWE Films to date. And DiBiase has a lot to do with why it works. He makes a good action star, and in this wrestling fan's opinion, he'll make an even better Face (c'mon WWE, we need a new Good Guy who has Championship potential!). I sat down with DiBiase and yacked about his work in The Marine II, putting Virgil to work and his influences in the squared circle.
