Lights, camera, action.

That's something that Ceyair Wright is used to, and now he'll bring that experience in front of camera to the NFL.

The Cincinnati Bengals recently signed the undrafted free agent Wright to a contract after the 2026 NFL Draft, and he just participated in rookie minicamp.

Wright was busy this offseason before reporting to minicamp. He's got an acting career, too.

Most recently, just before reporting, he finished working in his role as a football player on a TV pilot for the show "Southern Bastards," according to CBS Sports.

Maybe more relevant for sports fans is that Wright was in "Space Jam: A New Legacy" -- the newer version featuring LeBron James. He played LeBron's older son in that movie.

None of that will matter for Wright's chances of making the Bengals, but it's a fascinating background that almost no player comes into the NFL with.
