TAMPA, Fla. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Is Tex going Hollywood?
For the second time in five years, Mark Teixeira made a cameo appearance on a cable television show. Teixeira played himself on an episode of Showtime’s “Billions” that first aired March 13.
“We had to do 16 takes,” the Yankees’ first baseman said said. “We did four from each angle, so it took a long time.”
In the drama pitting a federal prosecutor portrayed by Paul Giamatti against a hedge fund owner acted by Damian Lewis, Teixeira is attending the Big Apple Circus with Lewis’ character, Bobby Axelrod.
