You heard it right here first, people: extremely cherished former Seattle Seahawks working again Marshawn Lynch and briefly hyped ex-Seahawk Brian Bosworth are teaming up. Not on the sector, in fact (as Marshawn’s temporary stint as a Raiders working again would certainly awaken some horrible Bo Jackson flashbacks), however on the display screen. What? What 12 months is that this? Brian Bosworth remains to be performing? Apparently, however that’s not my level. My level is that Marshawn is killing it.
The aforementioned Brian Bosworth and Marshawn Lynch car (such a bizarre factor to sort) known as “Signing Day.” It’s a soccer comedy starring Mira Sorvino and Brad Carter that focuses on school recruitment within the South. And Marshawn DOESN’T play himself. In accordance with the Web Film Database, he performs a man named Eugene Ledford. Bosworth performs a man named Dale. It’s slated to be launched in Fall 2024.
Talking of upcoming films, Marshawn additionally has 4 extra coming – along with “Signing Day.” Presently in manufacturing is a movie titled “Eenie Meanie,” the place Marshawn performs a personality named Perm Walters. He’s additionally performing in an Eddie Murphy, Eva Longoria, Pete Davidson comedy – referred to as “The Pickup” – that’s at the moment in post-production, a Common Photos motion movie titled “With Love” that’s set to be launched in 2025, and he’s at the moment in pre-production for a film titled “He Bled Neon,” which based on Deadline, is an “early Cannes market buzz undertaking.” Is that this the start of a Marshawn Lynch renaissance? If that’s the case, I’m right here for it.
Marshawn has been performing for a while, in fact. A fast journey to IMDB reveals that he started his performing journey in 2013 in a not-rated, widely-panned film titled “Matt’s Probability.” He performed a personality named Large Goon 1 (Gary Busey and Lee Majors are in it, too, although, so I’m gonna have to observe it). Within the TV world, his performing was in all probability most spectacular in his function as Giggles in “Westworld.” However his cameos in “Brooklyn 9-9” and “The League” are legendary – particularly his submit Tremendous Bowl 49 business for The League. Marshawn pokes enjoyable at Pete Carroll for calling a go as an alternative of a run on the one-yard line (I can’t speak about it, however watch the business; it’s good).
Just lately, Marshawn performed an inappropriately delicate coach named Mr. G in a comedy referred to as “Bottoms.” It got here out final 12 months and stars Ayo Edebiri from “The Bear.” You possibly can stream it on Prime Video proper now.
He’s actually been having enjoyable, however having 5 movies lined up is really spectacular – even for a famous person actor. On IMDB, Tom Cruise has 5 introduced, Gosling has two, and Daniel Day-Lewis has none. Might Marshawn be the subsequent Tom Cruise? He may very well be the subsequent Terry Crews. Terry Crews doesn’t have 5 films lined up, however he works a helluva lot. Most notably in “The Expendables,” “Idiocracy,” and as Lieutenant Terry Jeffords in “Brooklyn 9-9.”
Who else’s footsteps would possibly Marshawn Lynch observe in? Carl Weathers is perhaps probably the most spectacular actor of the bunch, however he wasn’t a lot of an NFL participant. Terry Bradshaw was fairly superior in “The Cannonball Run” and “Smokey and the Bandit 2.” Jim Brown, in fact, give up soccer to star in “The Soiled Dozen.” Bubba Smith was brawny as all hell in “Police Academy,” and John Matuszak ought to have received an Academy Award for his portrayal of Sloth Fratelli in “The Goonies.” In fact, there’s much more on the market (together with the man from “Capricorn One” and “The Bare Gun” sequence), however I see Beast Mode (Hollywood Mode?) working previous all of them. Who’s gonna cease him? And who else am I lacking?
