As Dante King nears the twilight of his professional football career, it's time that he starts to think about what life looks like after he hangs up the cleats. One promising avenue of post-playing days earnings for star athletes with large fanbases is acting, as they can serve as box office draws based on their name alone. To kickstart his thespian career, Dante has been offered the lead role in the upcoming remake of the classic football drama Any Given Sunday. King will portray Willie Beaman, the embattled quarterback previously played by Jamie Foxx. While King's short stature may make it tough for audiences to suspend their disbelief about his ability to be a high level professional quarterback, his athleticism and natural charisma should make him a magnetic on screen presence. Further casting decisions are still in the works, but King's co-stars are rumored to include Brad Pitt as head coach Tony D'Amato and Henry Cavill as Jack Rooney, his counterpart in the quarterback room. This should be a can't-miss film event for any sports fan and hopefully is just the beginning of a long and fruitful career for Dante.
