Rick Fox Scores Recurring Role on Melrose Place
Matt Richenthal at .Rick Fox played small forward for years with the Los Angeles Lakers.
But the former professional basketball player will soon be part of an even more iconic L.A.-based group of characters: the cast of Melrose Place. He's signed on for a recurring role on The CW drama.
Fox will portray the owner of a restaurant. We're assuming it's the establishment where Auggie works as a chef and (mini-spoiler alert!) where Violet lands the gig of hostess in the show's second episode.
The athlete-turned-actor has appeared on Oz, One Tree Hill and Ugly Betty.
