Chavo Guerrero Jr continues to build a successful career in Hollywood. He has his sights set on taking the next step in this journey.
Former WWE star Chavo Guerrero Jr. has worked on GLOW, Young Rock, and The Iron Claw, as he has had a key role behind the scenes as a wrestling coordinator. Now, he wants to direct a film.
Speaking with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Chavo Guerrero was asked about his work in Hollywood. He described how he learned there were other opportunities for him years ago, and he has continued to learn. Guerrero then stated that directing is his next goal.
“I’m one of those guys who learns from watching,” Chavo Guerrero said. “I was backstage in WWE and WCW, learning from the best in pro wrestling–I learned from Vince McMahon, Kevin Dunn, Triple H, and Eric Bischoff. When I became supervising producer on Lucha Underground, which was a TV show about wrestling, I was speaking with cameramen and directors, and about wardrobe and set design. The question I kept getting asked was, ‘How do you know all this stuff?’ I’m a third-generation pro wrestler, so a lot of this has been in my life for a long time.
That’s when I started to realize there were other opportunities for me. Then I went to GLOW and Young Rock, and now with The Iron Claw, I keep learning so much. My next goal is to direct. That’s where I envision this going.”
Guerrero previously discussed being Hollywood’s “go-to guy” for Hollywood. Check out his comments here.
