On the surface, being an actor and being a professional football player appear inherently different.
Ellis currently stars in “Tyler Perry’s Sistas.”
They’re challenging, but they reap plenty of rewards if you’re successful.
The same applies to Ellis.
The NFL was a possibility," he told us.
This method worked and also opened doors in his relationship.
“I told her what my dream was and she was like, ‘Oh, that’s dope.
So how we going do it?’
But he never lost the tools he learned from the NFL.
“The more you might do in the NFL, the better.
“Being a football player, you have to speak to your teammates.
“You have to have chemistry with your quarterback.”
The same is true when filming.
They’ve been able to grow their chemistry, which ultimately shows on the screen.
Season 4 of BET’s “Sistas” returns on Wednesday, June 29.
“Zatima” is slated to premiere in 2022.
