Giger: Remember Peyton Hillis? He's my cousin, and now starring in new werewolf movie

ALTOONA, Pa. -- I'm from Arkansas. Peyton Hillis is from Arkansas. But no, despite whatever redneck joke you want to make, not everyone from that state is related.

In this case, however, it just so happens to be true that I am related to Hillis, the former NFL running back who's famous for two big reasons from his playing days with the Cleveland Browns and other teams.

And now, Hillis is trying to become famous for something else -- as an actor. His first movie, "The Hunting," about a werewolf in a small town, was just released in select cities and is streaming online.
