It’s been two years since we last saw Les Miles on the sidelines coaching in college football. Although it’s been a long and lonely road without our favorite grass-eating and ranting Les in the sport, he’s been pretty preoccupied. ”With what?”, you’re probably wondering. With acting, that’s what! No I’m not kidding, Coach Miles has caught the acting bug. The Advocate has the glorious details:
“I have several projects that I’m looking at. I’m reading for those,” Miles said in a recent interview.
“Reading?” a reporter inquires.
“Reading scripts,” Miles responds. “Auditioning.”
You’re reading scripts and auditioning for movies?
“Absolutely!” a confident Miles proclaims.
Here he is as a cop, starring in the movie Camera Obscura, which was produced in Baton Rouge and released in 2017.
But wait, where’s more! He also played an Oklahoma State football coach in When the Game Stands Tall, which was released in 2014.
But perhaps most importantly, Miles nearly starred in a Syfy movie called Ghost Shark as a mayor, but the director took a different direction. He also has an IMDB page, and it’s just wonderful:
As for what he’ll star in next, his next role will be in a movie inspired by the 1986 Challenger explosion called Angry Men, which will release this summer. It may not be coaching, but I for one will personally watch every movie he’s in just to see his cameos.
