FRISCO — Michael Irvin has always preached passionately. Now, in a movie to be released in November, he gets to play a pastor.
The Dallas Cowboys’ iconic receiver, who won three Super Bowls and resides in Canton in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, has always been an actor at heart. He went to his social media over the weekend to post a movie poster from “Christmas Eve.”
Irvin plays Pastor Dave Williams in the movie, which chronicles the journeys of people who found their religion on Dec. 24. He’s even featured on the movie poster alongside actor Stephen Baldwin.
According to a press release for the film, “One of the stories involves the true story of a Colombian woman who was going to kill her husband on Christmas Eve by orders from Pablo Escobar. But that night, she heard a church singing ‘Silent Night’. Drawn into the church, she gave her life to Christ and told Escobar what happened at great risk to her life.”
Director Timothy A. Chey traveled to 29 countries in search of “Christmas Eve” tales.
Irvin has previous acting experience; he co-starred in the 2005 remake of the football movie “The Longest Yard.”
