When I found out a network was searching for actors who were passionate about sports, I almost pulled a hammy responding.The casting director called, and wanted me to come in to audition for a sports show in the same genre as “Around the Horn,” in which panelists are pitted against one another. I can think of worse ways to spend my summer, so I put on a Derek Jeter BP jersey and hightailed it to her office.
She put me on camera, and had me discuss various sports topics, then praise my favorite teams and slam their rivals.
So, paying me to bash the Red Sox? Really? How much can I get for 20-minute naps, or peeing on the side of the freeway? Because when it comes to that stuff, I’m a Viking.
