Cubs Own Blond Midget Pursuing Acting Career
Mike Fontenot is going to be making a cameo in the TBS sitcom “My Boys”. I’m not sure exactly why they cast Fontenot for the part, but he seems pretty excited about it:
Mike Fontenot will be a special guest on an upcoming episode of “My Boys,” the TBS sitcom about a female sportswriter who covers the Cubs.
Fontenot will play himself in the episode, parts of which will be taped Tuesday at HoHoKam Park. Without revealing the plot, Fontenot said one of the male characters on the show makes a play for his girlfriend, who apparently is trying to make Fontenot jealous.
Fontenot, a natural ham, was perfect for the part. He said he has seven lines overall and already has learned them.
“I was on the phone with my girlfriend, then I told my sister. … I was pretty excited about it,” he said. “I’ve been standing in front of the mirror rehearsing.”
Standing in front of the mirror rehearsing? How about taking some BP or fielding some grounders at 3rd. I’m pretty sure your acting career won’t be paying any bills, but your ability to play 3rd base and hit a baseball might come in handy in your ACTUAL career. All kidding aside, Fontenot seems like a good guy and I’m sure it was fun to film the scenes. Who knows, I might even tune in to see his TV debut.
