'Everybody Hates Chris' Actor Terry Crews Becomes A 'Gamer'

You know him as money-conscious dad Julius on Everybody Hates Chris . Now actor Terry Crews stopped by to discuss his role in the new film Gamer.
Gamer stars Gerard Butler as Kable, an unwilling participant in an online game in which participants can control human beings as players. The sci-fi action film also stars Logan Lerman, Ludacris and John Leguizamo.
A native of Flint, Michigan, Crews attended Western Michigan University where he majored in art. He also played for the WMU football team where he earned all-conference honors as a defensive end. He was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in 1991. He went on to play six seasons in the NFL which included stints with the Green Bay Packers, San Diego Chargers, Philadelphia Eagles, and the Washington Redskins.
After retiring from professional football, Crews pursued an acting career, playing the muscular tough guy role in movies such as Malibu’s Most Wanted and The Longest Yard. He also played Damon in Friday After Next, which also starred Ice Cube and Mike Epps.
The Gamer hits theaters on September 4. For more information, visit gamerthemovie.com. Everybody Hates Chris airs Fridays at 9pm on WPIX, home of the CW.
