Pretty sure cameos are common in pop culture.
Diff is my question is that Fred actually went on to be a star actor in a running TV show.
You are talking about one player as a back up cameo actor. I made my question about a leading actor.
No, it wasn't a cameo. He had a major role in the show for five years (just over 100 episodes). It was an ensemble show, so there wasn't really a 'lead'.
This time, at least, I'm not being contrarian.

Ok smart guy, who was the other NFL player who played a recurring role as a lead role in an 80s cop drama.
We ARE talking about title leads, not just back ups here.
Fred Dyer was the lead in Hunter. I don't know of any other NFL player who went on to act in an 80s cop drama AS THE LEAD.
