Steve Mowry has been killing it on the regional MMA scene, and now he’s been tabbed to do some killing on the silver screen.

The 6-foot-8 heavyweight, who last month signed with Bellator, will star in the independent horror film “The Harvester.” Mowry has signed on for the titular role, which sounds pretty awesome.

The story, written by (Horror Equity Fund’s) Brian Herskowitz and based on the graphic novel series “Rise of the Harvester” by renowned graphic artist Steve McGinnis, revolves around a hell-spawned, malevolent killer who is tasked with “harvesting” souls by his father, the king of Hell. The Harvester sets his sights on one very special child, and it’s up to a courageous mother to keep her offspring safe.

Nobody has been safe against Mowry in two years as a professional fighter. He’s unbeaten at 4-0, finishing all four of his fights under the Titan FC banner. Mowry is set to make his Bellator debut against fellow newcomer Ben Moa on Sept. 21 at Bellator 205.

According to Horror Equity Fund CEO Marlon Schulman, Mowry is the perfect fit for the role of The Harvester.

“We were searching for the right combination of intimidation and innocence,” Schulman said. “The 6-8 Mowry has the size, matched with youth, and a Pennsylvania clean-cut look that is perfect.”

It only makes sense that a dude who’s been a nightmare inside the cage would land a lead role like this in a horror film.
