Former KU forward Scot Pollard praised for performance in movie ‘The Profit’

LAWRENCE

Wearing a tuxedo T-shirt, jeans and black shoes, Scot Pollard stood on stage Saturday night in more-than-a-century-old downtown theatre, Liberty Hall, fielding questions not about his days as a Kansas basketball player, but as star of the movie, “The Profit.”

“It was humbling to watch it on the big screen for the first time,” the 6-foot-11, 275-pound, 41-year-old Pollard told an audience of more than 100.

They were on hand for the premiere of a 90-minute feature film starring Pollard, Michelle Davidson, Joseph Anderson and Scott Allegrucci and directed by highly-acclaimed Lawrence film writer, director and KU professor of film Kevin Willmott.
