In the same way athletes have forever admired actors, actors too have traditionally held athletes in high esteem.
Of course, while many sports superstars can actually experience and try their hand in acting, most actors have to simply settle for courtside seats.
Not so surprisingly, in some instances, these peripheral admirers take their passion for sport to the absolute extreme.
Take Bill Murray, for example, who not only watches his favorite teams but actually owns several of them. Or Billy Crystal, who took his love for Yankee baseball to the field itself, signing a one-day contract with the team back in 2008.
There’s also Jack Nicholson, of course, who has been a constant, and noisy, presence at Lakers home games dating all the way back to the 1970 season.
With the aforementioned superfans in mind, we’ve done our best to honor and spotlight the 15 most worthy actors who are obsessed with sports.
While many talents could have deservedly made our prestigious list, in the end, we did our best to identify the actors who truly take their sports fandom to the limitwell beyond where any of their sane colleagues would ever dream of going.
