Or perhaps “Youk Ought to Be in Pictures,” (with apologies to Dana Suesse and Edward Heyman).
Anyway, this item comes from Boston.com:
Youk on screen
He plays first base, he plays third base, and he also acts. All-purpose All-Star Kevin Youkilis is on his way to New York to shoot a scene for the indie film “Goat.’’ We’re told Youk’s former teammate Bronson Arroyo also has a cameo in the film, which stars Armand Assante, Ice-T and “Sopranos’’ alums William DeMeo and Vincent “Big Pussy’’ Pastore. The film’s being directed by Paul Borghese and produced by Irena Angeliades, a big baseball fan who helped cast Youk, Arroyo, and Eduardo Pérez.
Hey, it worked for Major Leaguers Chuck Connors and Johnny Beradino (not so much for Jim Bouton, though; the televised version of his seminal book, Ball Four, lasted just four episodes).
According to IMDB.com, a Kevin Youkilis had a uncredited role as a kid in the 1994 film Milk Money, starring Melanie Griffith and Ed Harris. Must be him; how many Kevin Youkilises (Youkili?) can there be?
