Packers' Jennings catches on as an actor - JSOnline
Jennings made an appearance on the CBS show "Criminal Minds" last year. It was a quick appearance, fun and relatively low-key.
But after the Packers won Super Bowl XLV, the director from USA Network's "Royal Pains" called Jennings because they had actually written a script for him.
Jennings will play himself, although as a coach in a football-themed episode. Jennings didn't know the air date yet, but the show's website said the new season kicks off June 29.
Jennings couldn't believe the opportunity. It's not like he's taken acting classes.
"That's the kind of opportunity I'm talking about," Jennings said. "This has allowed me to explore new opportunities and possibilities."
