A&E Biography Series Set To Feature Randy Couture

[NWOWolfpack]

UFC Heavyweight Champion Randy Couture will be featured on an upcoming installment of A&E’s “Biography,” the Emmy-award winning series that has profiled some of the world’s most influential people, from statesmen and Supreme Court justices to activists and pop-culture icons. Soon, Couture’s name will placed alongside those of Princess Diana, Oprah Winfrey and Christopher Columbus.

“Biography” is the longest-running single-topic documentary series on television and has twice been awarded the Emmy for Outstanding Nonfiction Series by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Originally produced in 1962 under longtime “60 Minutes” correspondent Mike Wallace, “Biography” profiled enough figures by 1999 that A&E spun the program off into an entire network ��" The Biography Channel.

Filming on Couture’s episode will begin next week and will include interviews with Couture’s two oldest children, his mother, referee “Big” John McCarthy and a host of others closest to the only five-time champion in UFC history. The list includes The Fight Network’s Loretta Hunt, the collaborator on Couture’s pending memoirs, set to be released through Simon and Schuster Inc. in June.

Couture is supposed to have a guest star spot on The Unit this week. I guess his acting career is finally starting to take off.
