Former NFL Seattle Seahawks linebacker Brian "Boz" Bosworth, a constant source of controversy, played only three seasons in the NFL, but his brief tenure was marked by a mix of headlines for various reasons. His professional football career was cut short due to a chronic shoulder injury, which ultimately led to his transition into the world of cinema.
Bosworth's acting career began with the action-packed film Stone Cold in 1991. The movie revolved around an Alabama police officer, played by Bosworth, who goes undercover to dismantle a notorious outlaw biker gang known as "The Brotherhood," led by the talented actors Lance Henriksen and William Forsythe. Bosworth delivered a respectable performance alongside a supporting cast of renowned actors, and the film received some positive reviews. Interestingly, it took several years for him to make his next appearance on the big screen.
Bosworth quickly found himself in a string of tough guy roles in low-budget action films, including One Man's Justice in 1996, the slow-paced Virus in 1996, the offbeat noir-styled Midnight Heat in 1996, and as an undercover cop once more in Back in Business in 1997.
Although Bosworth failed to become the next big thing in the action genre, he has continued to appear in key roles in low-budget action productions and minor roles in bigger Hollywood films, such as The Longest Yard in 2005.
