Dellin Betances tested the waters of Hollywood this offseason, with a supporting role in the big budget action film, “On the Shore Lay Montezuma”. He was all smiles at last month’s premier, posing on the red carpet for tabloid photographers.
Unfortunately for Betances, the film did not enjoy the kindest of reviews. Critics have universally panned the movie, calling it “The Modern Day Ishtar.” Betances‘s acting was also not well received, with one critic calling his performance as Sergeant Dick Grimes “pathetically laughable,” and saying, “…he should stick to baseball.”
The New York Yankees’ reliever has yet to comment on whether or not he’ll reprise his role as Grimes in the sequel announced earlier this week.
Most friends find that move unlikely as Betances has taken the critical panning harshly. One friend, wanting to remain anonymous was quoted as saying, “Dellin has a big ego and was really hurt by the criticism of his acting. There is no way he will be doing a sequel.”
