Chris Jericho To Play Gorgeous George In Prime Video’s Muhammad Ali Limited Series ‘The Greatest’

Chris Jericho will play wrestling pioneer Gorgeous George in *The Greatest*, a Prime Video limited series about Muhammad Ali. George’s flamboyant public persona and skill at self-promotion influenced a young Ali, making the casting a link between the two entertainers’ stories.

Jericho first appears in the fourth episode, and all eight episodes are due to be released on 4 November. Jaalen Best stars as Ali in the first authorised scripted series about his life, with a cast that includes Omari Hardwick, Dana Gourrier, Amin Joseph, Giovanni Ribisi and Michael Ealy; the drama covers Ali’s family life as well as his career.
