Former FSU Football Players Turned Actors

[Semiologist]

The Dukes thread reminded me of the trivia question: Name at least four former FSU football players who became reasonably well known actors.

Burt Reynolds and Ron Simmons. Can't think of any others.

Has Lee Corso done any acting? Would you consider his spot on College Gameday acting? He does become somewhat of a character on that show.

Burt, Bob Urich, Paul Gleason, and ?

The last one is referred to in the original post.

Ah yes, Enos. Thought you were looking four another besides him.

Did Terry Warren ever get any decent roles?

Not anything significant according to IMDB.

I think I remember there was an actor on one of the night time soaps (Dynasty, Knots Landing) back in the '80s-90s who was also a former FSU football player.

Danny Green played at FSU and has had a long Hollywood Career...he used to come to FSU Alumni Events in Los Angeles a lot when I lived out there...really nice guy and had hilarious stories about what a moron Darrell Mudra was

He did and Burt helped him get started in Hollywood from what I remember.

Is Richard Simmons the 4th? Wasn't he a tight end?

Sonny Shroyer was the one that was alluded to. He played Enos on the Dukes of Hazard.

Enos went to FSU? I did not know that.

He was moved to tight end after trying out at quarterback - took too many sacks.

I think he finished up as a wide receiver.

LOL, yeah, I had heard that. So I guess he did kinda star in a soap with her and Burt - which might have derailed his long-term acting prospects.

Some guy named Hanks who played FSU football in the 70s, and has been a working actor ever since.

Also, Deion, who has not been an actor, is certainly a celebrity.
