The play Kendo was in was called "The Wild Bunch."
Klondyke Kate played a prison bully in the Margi Clarke film "Blonde Fist".
Sonny Caldinez went on to have a lengthy acting career, including several monster parts in Doctor Who in the 60s. (Brian Glover also did a Dr Who, as Griffiths in "Attack of the Cybermen." in '85)

Brian Glover was in the film Kes, as a P.E teacher and was great. Also on the topic of T.V shows, there was a T.V show _base_d around British wrestling called Rumble, on BBC during the mid ninetys and I'm sure that Brian glover was in that aswell, does anyone else remember it?

I recall a series about wrestling starring Glover and Leslie Joseph. Not sure of the _title_.
Update on Norman Smiley, he appeared in the Mexican film "Vampiro, Guerrero Del Noche", in which Vampiro was the main star. Smiley was billed as Black Magic, his Mexican ring name.

That's the one. And it wasn't that accurate a portrayal of Brit wrestling culture, too Americanised to be authentic. The wrestling was shown as being character-driven rather than the technical action-orientated UK _style_.
Also it couldn't make it's mind up if it was in or out of kayfabe - dialogue in the first episode seems to fling kayfabe out of the window, yet later we see a tag team _title_ match which has to be a shoot for the plot to make sense.

Maybe Vince Russo wrote it.
