Danny Nedelko is aware that his career as an athlete is a short one, so he instructed his agent to find him an acting role to set up a career for after his retirement.
He was pleased when he was offered the role of Jack in a shot for shot remake of Titanic. The first day on set, however, it was clear that this was not a high budget operation. The majority of the film was to be shot in front of green screen, and when he met his co-star, he immediately recognised her as an adult film actress.
Between the quality of the production and the questionable abilities of the lead actors, the movie was a cinematic disaster. The famous "draw me like one of your French girls" scene had considerably less subtlety, for example - not helped by Nedelko ad-libbing "YEAAAA BUDDY" when his porn star colleague dropped her robe.
The project went straight to DVD (Nedelko didn't realise those still existed) and a number of people involved were arrested in a money laundering case after the fact.
