Foxy Rick Fox lives up to his last name! The former NBA star has been knocking on Hollywood’s door ever since his playing days with the Boston Celtics during the 1990s. In fact, the small forward made his big screen debut alongside Nick Nolte and Shaquille O’Neal in the basketball-themed flick Blue Chips (1994) directed by William Friedkin. Bit parts in other hoops-rated movies, such as the Whoopi Goldberg comedy Eddie (1996) and Spike Lee’s drama He Got Game (1998) followed. Rick revealed his wide… range in the chiller diller Resurrection (1999); the Western dramedy Holes (2003); the neo-noir satire Mini’s First Time (2006), and the romantic comedy Meet the Browns (2008). The hardworking hottie also sizzled on the small screen with shirtless turns on HBO’s hit prison show Oz (1997-2003) and the FX drama Dirt (2007-2008). The boob tube babe also played David on Love, Inc. (2005-2006); Daunte Jones on One Tree Hill (2006); Winston on Single Ladies (2011-2012); Andrew Thompson on Mr. Box Office (2012-2013); Chase Vincent on Hit the Floor (2013-2016); and Richard Martin on K.C. Undercover (2016-2017). Of course, Mr. Man prefers Mr. Fox’s portrayal of Darius Nash on Greenleaf (2017-2020). The prime time soap opera features Merle Dandridge, Kim Hawthorne, Lamman Rucker, and Rick’s bare chest in bed! Whether appearing in character (Melrose Place, Ugly Betty, The Glades, All Rise) or as himself (The Game, Dancing with the Stars, Chopped, Celebrity Family Feud, Home & Family), Rick is one NBA star who may penetrate our lane anytime!
