ATLANTA - Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue made his acting debut Wednesday playing a college football coach in the upcoming film "We Are Marshall."

The film chronicles the worst disaster in U.S. sports history - the 1970 plane crash that killed nearly the entire Marshall University football team - and a small town's recovery from that tragedy.

"I fit the role perfectly as an old jock," said Perdue, who was a freshman walk-on on the University of Georgia's football team. "It was exciting. I always wanted to be a football coach, and I'm playing a head coach of East Carolina University."
