Looks like Mike Tyson is finally going to be making his TV acting debut. Tyson’s publicist spoke with Entertainment Weekly and said he will be shooting an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit later this month.
The former boxer will play Reggie Rhodes, “a murderer on death row who is also the victim of a difficult childhood.” The episode is set to air on February 13th. I'm not too sure how this will go for Tyson considering he isn’t a very good actor. Seems like a ploy to possibly bump the ratings.
Mike Tyson may be best known for his boxing career but his appearances in The Hangover films have given him a whole new fan base. Last year, he created the Mike Tyson Cares Foundation and he also performed a one-man show on Broadway.
