Man, the Raiders just seemed to have so many celebrity players (meaning beyond just football). If only Bo Jackson's career had lasted longer.

I'm pretty sure they've had more players-turned-actors than any other NFL team.

L.A. Rams: Merlin Olsen, Roosevelt Grier, Fred Dryer, all went on to act!

The Raiders had the following players turn to acting: Ben Davidson, Fred Williamson, Howie Long, John Matuszak, Lyle Alzado, Carl Weathers, Bubba Smith, Bob Golic. I think there might have been a few others, but those are the ones I know off the top of my head.

Idk I have core memories of a cartoon staring Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, and Bo Jackson fighting crime with spy like sports tech. Bo stole the show tho because Bo knew more sports.
