Chris Jericho as Gorgeous George

Cassius Clay entered the ring as a skilled boxer but lacked the personality to become a global icon until he crossed paths with Gorgeous George at a Las Vegas radio station. That meeting changed everything because George laid out the real secret: it isn't about the fighting, it is about connecting with fans and making them either love you or hate you since that is what actually sells tickets. Ali took that lesson to heart and built his entire future persona around that specific philosophy. Chris Jericho tapped into this history when he landed the role of Gorgeous George in Amazon's The Greatest after producers struggled for a long time to find anyone suitable for the part. He tracked down an old movie where George starred so he could study and imitate the drawl, accent, motions, and overall persona required for the character. Jericho describes getting to play such an outrageous figure on a massive show like The Greatest as a huge moment for both Ali's career and his own.
