Jim Brown
Jim Brown – born 17 February 1936 – had a career as a professional American football player, which included a record-setting nine-year stretch as a running back for the NFL Cleveland Browns from 1957 to 1965. In 2002, he was named by The Sporting News as the greatest professional football player of all time.
Not content as a high achiever in football, Brown went into acting. His first appearance in front of the camera was in the 1964 film Rio Conchos, which was followed by a part in the 1967 war movie The Dirty Dozen. In 1969, he starred in 100 Rifles with Burt Reynolds and Raquel Welch, which was one of the first films to have an interracial love scene. Brown’s filmography has continued through the decades and he’s had more recent appearances in films such as Original Gangstas, On The Edge, Small Soldiers and Mars Attacks!.
In 2002, Spike Lee released Jim Brown: All-American; a documentary on Brown's life, on and off the field. The multi-talented star is still committed to his football roots by serving as an Executive Advisor to the Cleveland Browns
