Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Boomer Esiason is to make his debut as a television character actor in January on the Home Box Office series, ”First and Ten: In Your Face.”
Esiason is to appear in an episode titled ”Championship Game” and will play an unscrupulous doctor, Doc Reed, who injects drugs into a star quarterback`s shoulder so he can play in the big game.
”I have a few lines,” Esiason said. ”I`m playing opposite O.J. Simpson and Shannon Tweed, who plays the team`s owner.”
Esiason, 29, played himself opposite Susan Lucci on an episode of ”All My Children” in 1989.
