Most people know Terry Bradshaw as "that guy married to Kathy Bates" in "Failure to Launch," but, apparently, he also had quite a career as an NFL quarterback. He won four Super Bowls with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and all his on-field success led to other opportunities.
Since retiring (and presumably after figuring out that singing wasn't for him/deciding against a modeling career), Bradshaw has been a regular on the big screen. Of all his movies, however, "Canonball Run" was his favorite.
"Dean and Sammy were like watching a stand-up routine during takes," Bradshaw said. "They had us busting up between takes. And there was always this card game that Roger Moore always wanted me to play. I spent a lot of time on that set.And, apparently, all this rubbin' elbows provided Terrance the opportunity to hang out with Frank Sinatra, which must've summoned all sorts of emotions for the Chairman of the Board. Shockingly, none of his impressed Hall of Famer Deacon Jones, who told Bradshaw that "I've never seen you on the (expletive) awards."
"I wouldn't say it was intimidating working with them, but it's tough when you are crossing boundaries. I had worked with Burt in 'Hooper.' What you find is they rapidly endorse you over here (acting). Not because of your acting skills, but because they respected you as an athlete and eventually pull you in."
Um, ever hear of the TV Guide Award, Deac? No? Moving on...

What is that thing he does at the very end? Is it some kind of horn sound from his nose? Weird...
