Marshawn Lynch is an actor and businessman who used to be an NFL player. He portrayed a spoof version of himself in the Brooklyn Nine-Nine television series, where he is in the vicinity of a prisoner breakout but does not actually see the crime occur and spends his whole screen time enthusiastically deviating from answering questions, obsessively talking about his pico de gallo.
Trivia
- The storyline of The Fugitive Pt. 1 draws slight parallels to Lynch’s real life.
- In the episode, he is a witness to a horde of convicts who have just escaped from a prison van on the streets of New York. When brought into the Nine-Nine, the squad is skeptical that they will extract much information from him given his record with the press.
- During an interview with the press on the 2015 Superbowl annual media day, Lynch answered every question with some variation of “I’m here so I won’t get fined,” which came after the NFL threatened a $500,000 fine if he failed to show up for media day.[1]
