Basketball player-turned actor Mengke Bateer Playing 'Bodyguard'

Filmmaker Peter Chan has said he wants to make the action thriller "Bodyguards and Assassins" an all-star film. By that, he doesn't just mean movie stars. Chinese basketball star Mengke Bateer, once an NBA player, has become the latest addition to the film's cast, which already includes Donnie Yen, Leon Lai, Nicholas Tse, Eric Tsang and Hu Jun. 2.1-meter (6.9 feet) Bateer will play a street vendor and is set to challenge many action scenes. The film is slated to hit theaters over the Christmas season.
