The “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” star appeared in 32 NFL games from 1991 to 1995, playing for Washington, the Chargers, and the Rams. He told Business Insider in 2017 that football helped prepare him for life as an actor: “I look at entertainment and my football career, the ups and downs, the ins and outs to how hard it was, it really prepared me for entertainment, in that, I could take rejection, I could go to an audition and realize that it wasn’t about me and just realize it was about the piece, or realize it was about, you know, you go on a set and you realize who’s the star, who’s the coach, who’s the director, who’s the day player, who’s the backup.”
