The Green Bay Packers sure put on a show as the squeaked past the Steelers in Super Bowl XLV for the franchise's 13th NFL Championship.

Many of the team's star players shined on the field with their freakish athletic abilities in 2010, but how many of them could take their talents to the big screen and put forth a positive performance?

There are at least five current Packers who could make a little extra cash (not like they need any) if they graced Hollywood with their presence; however, some should just stick with their day job.

5. Donald Driver

Even if he didn't already have television experience, Donald Driver's bright smile should be enough to earn him a role on any kind of film.

He can be humorous like in this McDonald's commercial or just flat out act like in this Time Warner ad.

4. Jermichael Finley

Finley has yet to star in a commercial, but he also hasn't played a full season either.

He has one of the more entertaining personalities among Packers players and is one of the most outspoken.

It's only a matter of time before he's noticed.

3. Ryan Grant

I'm not sure if Ryan Grant was trying to look like a tough guy in this photo, but even if he was, it's great acting.

Maybe he could team up with The Rock in an action-packed film or simply start blowing things up on his own.

However, comedy may not be his forte as there is nothing funny about that face.

2. B.J. Raji

Raji may be better suited for Dancing With the Stars after his impressive jig following his interception return score in the NFC Championship game, but his acting skills could be even smoother than his dancing.

His 300-plus pound frame was born for the big screen, or at least for the gridiron.

1. Clay Matthews

Clay Matthews is the Packer best suited for the big screen. His biceps are big enough to star in a modern action film and his hair is long enough to pass off as a barbarian warrior in a medieval classic.

Matthews even has experience with comedy. He has appeared in several commercials including an ESPY's scene in which he shared the spotlight with Kevin Love.
