John Stamos on getting cast on Disney’s ‘Big Shot’: ‘My heart just sunk’
NY Post
John Stamos wasn’t initially jazzed about playing a basketball coach on his latest show, “Big Shot.”
“I was a band geek in school, I’m a band geek now — I never played sports, I didn’t watch sports,” Stamos, 57, told The Post. “It was harder for me to learn basketball lingo than medical lingo when I was on ‘ER’ playing a doctor, I’m not kidding.” Premiering Friday, April 16, on Disney+ (with new episodes out weekly), the sports dramedy series centers on Marvyn Korn (Stamos), a men’s college basketball coach who ends up having to work at an all-girls private high school as a last resort after his temper costs him his NCAA job — much to his dismay.More Related News
