Les Miles A.K.A. "Nelson" The NASA Employee Lands Acting Gig In Indie Film

by Staff Reporter

Thomas B. Shea-USA TODAY Sports

Former LSU coach Les Miles has landed a gig acting an upcoming indie film production called Angry Men and will play the role of NASA employee named "Nelson," according to Bussiness Report:

quote:
The movie, according to its website, is about the 1986 space shuttle Challenger disaster and a prescient NASA engineer, who tried, unsuccessfully, to prevent the doomed shuttle from taking off.

Miles doesn’t play that engineer, but he does play a NASA employee known as Nelson. The film’s website doesn’t describe Nelson’s character.

The film is currently being filmed in San Antonio, Texas, and is scheduled to be released midyear.

Acted like he was going to update the offense. Plenty of acting experience.

I sincerely hope Les never coaches again so that I can always remember him as the lovable coach of my Tigers. I dont want that memory tainted. He won a national .hampionship wearing the purple and gold. And takeaway the championship game the 2011 season was one of the most fun times as a Tiger fan.

Does this let LSU off the hook for a small portion of his buy out?

Wasn’t Nelson the name of the engineer responsible for the Challenger o-ring deterioration timing controls post launch?
