Worst Movie/TV Cameos By Athletes

Nah, best was Wes Parker, where Greg was infatuated with his teacher, who turned out to be Parker's girlfriend.

Wes delivered the immortal line to Greg, "Hands off my babe, Greg. Why don't you go bone your step-mom? She's kinda hot, and she sure ain't gettin' it from your dad based on the moves he's trying to put on me."

OK, he didn't really say that. But, he should have.

 

J.J. Hardy hammed it up on Young & The Restless last year, but I'll go with any of the ex-CART drivers that appeared in uber-auto racing crapburger Driven with Sly Stallone.

 

As far as the worst I have to agree with Kournikova, now the best was Vuckovich in Major League if for no other reason than this exchange:

Heywood:Taylor what you doing back up here?
Taylor: Ah, couldn't cut it in the mexican leagues
Heywood: How's your wife and my kids?

 

"She can warm up with me anytime."

The beginning of the end for the 2007 Brewers.

 

What about Larry Bird in Space Jam?
Or Larry Bird in Celtic Pride?

 

Lou Pinella - Little Big League

 

Big, I was wrong on Cabell. I don't know where the hell that name came from. While discussing the merits of Breaking Training at the bar last week, I was corrected. It's Cesar Cedeno who appears with gap-toofed Bob Watson in that scene. If it weren't for their steady influence, nobody would have decided to just Let Them Play.

And Coach Leak's teeth were bigger than floor tiles.

 

Bucky Dent in Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. Ugh. Wasn't a cameo but a significant role. Painful.

 

I must argue against Brett even being mentioned on this thread...

The movie was great, but went to a new level when it turned out Mary's old boyfriend Brett was in fact Brett Favre...and his one line was awesome.

 

Actually, Clemens played "Skidmark" in Kingpin, which was released before Dumb and Dumber, while Neely played "Seabass."

Speaking of Kingpin, though, Brad Faxon and Billy Andrade both had cameos as Roy talks to his dad just before leaving for the state amateur tournament. Both were standing around the cars as Roy said his goodbyes. Faxon then, rather daintily, mimics a bowling motion as Roy drives away. It's up there among the worst cameos.

 

Roger Clemens in "Anger Management". His personality was stiffer than a horny teenager's shlong.
