Before Devale Ellis Was Starring As Zac In “Sistas”, He Was Preparing For The NFL

One of our favorite “Sistas” character Zac was always set on becoming an actor. He once had dreams of becoming an NFL player and using that to breakthrough in acting!

Devale spoke with The List and shared:

“I followed the role that I knew I was going to follow, which was play sports because I was athletic. Get my degree. The NFL was a possibility,” he told us. “I said, ‘If I could make a couple of million dollars playing football, I don’t have to be a broke artist as I go on this journey.'”

“Being a football player, you have to speak to your teammates. You don’t just show up on game day and say, ‘I’m here, throw me the ball,'” he explained. “You have to have chemistry with your quarterback.” The same is true when filming.”

We loved this interview. We love how him and his wife were in it for the long run to make the acting thing happen. Devale is such a hard worker and I want to be the first to share that we appreciate his presence in the acting business and we can’t wait to see him in “Sistas”, “Zatima” and future projects.
