Episode 45: The Film Freaks Go Long - Pro Athletes Who Tried Acting!

Film Freaks Forever!

In this exciting, last-minute, long-touchdown-pass-to-win-the-game-type of episode, your Film Freak hosts, Phoef Sutton and Mark Jordan Legan, guzzle Gatorade, draw up some plays, and take the field to shine stadium lights on a wonderful, fun, interesting topic: pro athletes who went into acting.

Some crashed and burned, but others showed real talent and became successful box office/TV ratings stars! Everyone from Babe Ruth to Jim Brown to Alex Karras to the late, great Carl Weathers are discussed as your Film Freaks bring you in-depth trivia and, of course, many terrific and entertaining audio clips from the dozens of films and TV shows they cover.

Get your uniform on and meet us on the field, rookie! High five!
