Looks like this will be his first major acting debut. I'd like to see it, not only because he's in it because it has an interesting storyline as well

 

This November, Miles will debut his first major role, in the feature film THE LAST WHISTLE, which was just announced as the opening night selection at the Lone Star Film Festival.

…Miles not only acted on the film, but also contributed to the realism of the film’s play calls and audience-favorite finale speech. Per director Rob Smat: “Les brought a degree of realism to this film not only with his performance, but also with his counsel, that only a legendary coach like him could provide. He was a pleasure to work with, and I’m already looking forward to next time.”

The Last Whistle tells the story of an all-star high school football player who collapses during practice. All eyes turn to the storied head coach (played by Friday Night Lights’ BRAD LELAND), who tries to maintain the team’s winning streak instead of healing the situation. The community turns against him, led by Miles’ character BILLY, leading to a lawsuit.

The film also stars a diverse cast of notable actors, including Jim O’Heir (PARKS AND RECREATION), Emmy winners Eric Nelsen (ERASE, THE AFFAIR), Sainty Nelsen (Netflix’s TROLLS), and Kristos Andrews (THE BAY), as well as Fred Tolliver Jr. (Spike Lee’s RED HOOK SUMMER, TV’s SHE’S GOTTA HAVE IT), Tyler Perez (CBS’s CODE BLACK), and a standout debut performance from Fort Worth native DEANNE LAUVIN.

Not exactly many specifics other than initial release:

The film is set to premier in November in Fort Worth, Tx., and producers are hoping to get a limited theatrical release and then a nationwide release on video on demand platforms.
