The Express

In 2007, I was cast as an extra for the Ernie Davis biopic, The Express. It starred Dennis Quaid and Rob Brown and was filmed on campus in August of 2008 . We went to the premier here in Syracuse at the Landmark theater and walked up the orange carpet. If you see the movie (and you should) I have a pretty good scene with Rob Brown, the actor who plays Ernie Davis. Here are some more photos from the shoot.

Here’s the Trailer for the Express

Here’s what I looked like in costume.
