ESPN's Paul Finebaum: "A well-known actor is extremely interested in playing" me in the sitcom based on my life

The Big Lead

"The conversations are getting very serious," says the ESPN college football personality, who's been shopping a sitcom based on his life since earlier this year. "There is a major Hollywood production company involved and already several writers are working on the script to be pitched to the major networks soon. The biggest news is a well-known actor is extremely interested in playing the lead. We did a call recently and it was fairly bizarre having a successful Hollywood actor asking me about me. He is considerably younger, so the idea is to set the sitcom at an early point in my career."
