There have been a few notable former Raiders to go onto acting careers after leaving football. First and foremost were Carl Weathers (Predator, Rocky) and John Matuszak (Goonies, Ice Pirates). You can add Nnamdi Asomugha to that list as he stars in the critically acclaimed film ‘Crown Heights’ which opens nationwide in theaters today.

The film is about Colin Warner (played by LaKeith Stanfield) who was falsely accused of murder and his friend Carl King (played by Asomugha) who fought for 21 years to prove his innocence and free him from prison.
