Steamin' Willie Beamen
How could you not love “Steamin” Willie Beamen? From the moment he took the field in place of second string option, Tyler Cheribini, his athleticism and swagger made him the instant star of the film and like those who he emulated in the NFL, the star of the fictitious league that “Any Given Sunday” was set in.
In the world of Professional Football, a flashy star Quarterback can be born overnight, so the sudden rise to stardom of Beamen was not unrealistic. His swagger, candor and fearlessness made him almost iconic. Still, he grew through the picture, and his final speech with Coach D’Amato told us that Beamen would mature as a Quarterback, and damn it, didn’t you want to see what he did for the expansion New Mexico franchise? We know we did!
We will say this though….how the hell did he manage a slickly produced rap song and corresponding music video two weeks into his starting career?

Any Given Sunday (1999)
