Chicago – Chicago native Simeon Rice is well-known in the world of sports. Where the Super Bowl champion and future Hall of Famer isn’t known, though, is in Hollywood. He’s now hoping to cross over. HollywoodChicago.com recently sat down with Rice to talk about his directorial debut.
Listen to our full interview below!
After being lightning fast at the 100-meter dash (10.37 seconds from a standstill) and the 40-meter dash, Rice recalls the first time he ran the 400-meter dash. He ran track and had never lost a race before then, but not knowing how to pace it, Rice recalls the feeling of a “bear jumping on his back” as he placed dead last.
But before he got into sports, he was into art and drawing in grade school. He eventually felt compelled to focus more on sports rather than art and didn’t think they could correlate. Rice’s mom,...

During his 12-year NFL career, Simeon Rice made three Pro Bowls, won a Super Bowl and was named Defensive Rookie of the Year. His 122 sacks are the 17th most in league history, and, along with Hall of Famers Warren Sapp and Derrick Brooks, he helped turn the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' defense into one of the most formidable units in football.
But, apparently, all he really wanted to do was direct.
In the eight years since he last played in the NFL, Rice has graduated from the New York Film Academy...

Former NFL defensive end, Simeon Rice is a filmmaker now. Did you know? I certainly didn't. I also wasn't aware that, after his football career ended in 2009, he went on to graduate from the New York Film Academy (where he attended the 4-week and 8-week workshops), and has since directed 3 films - 1 short and 2 features, all indies. He seems to love *genre* films, with his most recent work, titled Unsullied, a thriller, set for release in 2015. It's currently in post-production. Rice directed the feature from a script he co-wrote with John Nodilo (who also co-wrote Rice's last feature, a horror movie titled "Prey"). It's said to be...
