Matthew Willig has had unusual career. He spent 14 years playing football for the NFL – even going to the Superbowl twice – but was forced from the field by a knee injury. What to do next? Willig decided to pursue an interest he’d only had time to dabble in before – acting.
Jonja.net had a great conversation with Mr. Willig. He talks about his unlikely path to acting, how he particularly enjoys being cast against type, and of course his role opposite Jack Black and Michael Cera in the comedy Year One.
