FOX WON MOVIE ROLE AFTER WRITER/DIRECTOR ALMOST RAN HIM DOWN

Retired basketball superstar RICK FOX landed a part in TYLER PERRY's new movie when the writer/director almost ran over him on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles.

Perry admits he'd just written a scene featuring Fox's character Harry in Meet The Browns when he went for a drive - and almost killed the ex-Los Angeles Laker.

He explains, "I was coming out of my house after writing the first scene with Harry and I made a left on Sunset and Rick was in the crosswalk with his trainer; I almost hit him!

"I pull over, we have a conversation, we exchange numbers and that's how the role came to be for him."
