Rams on the big screen

[H.Birdman]

I've known for years that the movie "Airplane" was a parody of an old black and white film called "Zero Hour," but I've never seen that film. Someone put together a video showing scenes from the two movies for comparison, and that's when I learned that the Kareem roll was inspired by Crazy Legs!

Didn't know he was in the Rams-turned-actor club with Merlin, Rosie and Fred.

What other Rams made it onto the big screen?

And who will be next? I think Jared would be a great Magnum PI kinda character. Talib already acts like an action star. FTD ought to sign Aaron Donald as their new pitchman -- that would be hilarious!

We would be remiss not to mention the epic portrayal by Mike Henry as Tarzan in the 60s...

Grob got a role as a left tackle.
That show ran for a couple of seasons then was cancelled.

Free Druer in Hunter of course.
That is the small screen though.

Dont forget about Terry Crews

I thought this was going to be about Heaven Can Wait again.

Yes, but it was all a happy ending! You see, this audition got Grob a great new job as a turnstile at Univeraal Studios!

Roman Gabriel was on Gilligan’s Island, and in a movie with John Wayne as well, I believe.

Thanks for the tip on Roman. I didn't know that. He even has an IMDb page, from which I learned that he appeared in a film called Skidoo in which the lead character was named ... Tony Banks!

The entire team apparently starred in a movie with Lucille Ball in 1949 called "Easy Living."

Anyone seen it?

I thought i was going to have to merge this with the weekly coverage maps thread. Nope. Nice.

Who can forget Joe Namath as CC Ryder?
