Eddie George Julius Caesar Video: Watch Former Titans Star Go Full Thespian

Eddie George has played the part of star running back and then took a turn as a football analyst. In a move that nobody saw coming, George will feature in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar as the title character. 

Yes, I am as befuddled and amused as you are. In fact, I am full-on bemused at this point. There are so many questions with just two likely answers. Either Eddie George is one talented mother turducken actor, or the people of Tennessee can't get enough of him, no matter how they get him. 

The video posted is taken from a spot to promote The Nashville Winter Shakespeare Festival. George will feature as the Roman emperor from Jan. 12-29 at the Troutt Theater at Belmont University. 

That is pretty much all I need to know to regret never buying housing in the Nashville area. It is impossible to know if George has the chops because the video is sliced and diced enough to make Michael Bay queasy. 

I do have to say one thing, George has himself some stage presence. It makes sense, as he has been on air with Fox Sports and Big Ten Network. 

He also had a bit part in Dwayne Johnson's The Game Plan and has a new movie entitled Knife Fight in post-production. 

The Pro-Bowl running back is about to prove that you don't have to just be a talking head in retirement. Well, you can be a talking head, but you can now do it in a toga as you spout off on assassination plots and backstabbing. 

Thou art impressing me, George. Though, is it important to remember that Marcus Brutus is the main character in this Billy Shakespeare joint. I still think this is wonderful, and please send reviews on this running back going full thespian when you see it.
