Which Celtic player portrayed the central character in a movie?
Which Celtic player guest starred on the TV show Cheers?
Which Celtic player guest starred on the TV show Miami Vice?

Hints/help:
Those are one each, at the time of the filming, future, current and past Celtics players.
Only one of the three was playing the role of himself.
Everything was fiction; these aren't basketball instructional videos or anything like that.

Ray Allen on "He's got game"
Kevin McHale on "Cheers"
Bill Russell on "Miami Vice"
Correct?

Correct, of course.

But the movie one shouldn't be difficult either.

Bingo times three!

Ray played a high school player, McHale played himself, and I just learned from the Bill Simmons Bernard King podcast that Russell played a judge.

Remeber watching this episode of Miami Vice...i was a kid and thought to myself: man, this is Bill Russell. But i wasn't 100% sure, and i was waiting for the end to see hes nam. I remember watching it with my mom. She said, look how tall this actor is. I said, mom, its the greatest basketball player in history

Wow, considering I refer to him as Judas Shuttlesworth more than by his birthname, I don't know how I missed on that one.

No trivia here, but kind of a cool movie scene with one of our own:

Dignified but corrupt. A kind of tragic figure. IIRC, he had a daughter in trouble or something like that.

That's what I remembered. That he was actually a judge I was reminded of by Wikipedia.
