Defensive Linemen in Film: Ed O'Bradovich

Like Doug Atkins, O'Bradovich only was in one film, Brian's Song, and played himself. He's in the yellow shirt next to Bernie Casey and wearing #87 next to Casey in the bottom shot.

Defensive Linemen in Movies: Doug Atkins

This one really doesn't count, but we add it in anyway for completeness. In the film Number One the NFL allowed the use of NFL logos, NFL film and players. Doug Atkins played himself. He did have a short line, talking to the trainer who was taping his ankles.

One thing to remember, Atkins didn't lift weights and it is amazing given the size of his biceps.

In 1975 Atkins had a role in Charles Bronson's Breakheart Pass as a character named Jebbo. Joe Kapp also had a role in that film.
