Episode Details

From NFL linebacker to Hollywood star, Miles Burris turned a career-ending knee injury into the launchpad for a dazzling second act. After being waived before his third season, he rediscovered his love for acting — sparked by movies and nurtured by family support — landing roles on “The Righteous Gemstones,” “Young Rock,” and even starring in Disney’s “Safety.” His screenwriting hustle, fueled by viral social media sketches, has also opened new doors, including a role in an upcoming John Madden biopic. Burris’s story is a powerful reminder that your identity isn’t defined by one career — and sometimes, the biggest breakthroughs come after you’ve been told to walk away.
