Holy crap, that's insane! I've seen that movie a number of times over the years and never made the connection.

Crazy, crazy stuff...

Edit: And yes, it checks out on IMDB. As far as I can tell this isn't a joke...

Double edit: Ok, so apparently it is a hoax. This from the Sports Guy... :(

Speaking of "Teen Wolf," one of those goofy Internet things happened this week. Thanks to a now-defunct New York sports Web site, an Internet hoax gained steam (even fooling IMDB.com) that Mike Piazza played Fox's rival in "Teen Wolf" -- a. k. a. Mick, the Hot Blonde Chick's boyfriend who was improbably allowed to stand under the basket during Fox's climactic free throws. Maybe the guy looks like Piazza, but his real name was Mark Arnold, who looks like he's about 35 in real life during the movie. Piazza is 35 now, which would have made him 15 or 16 when they filmed the movie. I don't think so.

I'm not much of a Piazza fan, but I got a pretty good laugh at this part

NYSX: Nice! That's great. Will you act again?

MP: Sure! First base. The curtain goes up in about a week.

Pretty good poke to take at himself I thought.

So what the heck? I read the same thing from the Sports Guy, but the NY Sports Express just made that whole interview up? That'd kind of ridiculous.

The real guy who played Mick McCallister was a guy named Mark Arnold.
