HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - Tony Jackson thought his football career was over. After Alabama A&M completed spring practice, Jackson, who has longed for a career in acting, received a call about becoming an extra in "Good Deeds," one of Tyler Perry's upcoming movies also starring Gabrielle Union."I jumped all over it and decided I was done with football," he said. "I was going to pursue an acting career."
After completing the project in late July, Jackson, who graduated in May with a degree in exercise science, got a chance to talk with Perry. He encouraged him to finish his football career.
"He told me if I had a year left to play, I should go ahead and play," Jackson said. "He told me acting would always be there."
