Former NFL Seattle Seahawks linebacker, the always controversial Brian
"Boz" Bosworth only played three seasons in the NFL but during that
period he made plenty of headlines for a mixture of reasons, however he
was forced to retire due to a chronic shoulder injury - which then saw
"Boz" pitched as a new action star in the cinema.
Bosworth's first film was the fiery action film
Stone Cold (1991) about an Alabama
police officer (Bosworth) going undercover to smash a murderous outlaw
biker gang called "The Brotherhood" led by
Lance Henriksen and
William Forsythe. Bosworth put in a fairly reasonable performance alongside a
supporting cast of very high quality actors, and the film received some
mildly positive reviews. Interestingly, it was several years before he
made another movie with Bosworth appearing quickly in a string of
further tough guy roles in low budget action films including
One Man's Justice (1996), the
woefully slow Virus (1996), the offbeat
noir styled Midnight Heat (1996) and as an
undercover cop again in
Back in Business (1997).
Bosworth hasn't turned into the next "big thing" in the action genre,
however he has continued appearing in key roles in low budget action
productions, and minor roles in bigger Hollywood productions such as
The Longest Yard (2005).
