Career
Foreign much of his short career, his large football-lineman build has garnered him roles largely as thugs or football players. His first movie was director Steven Soderbergh"s Out of Sight (1998) and his latest is the Neil LaBute thriller, Lakeview Terrace (2008). Although Loneker was passed over in the NFL draft after graduation and the disappointment was damaging, he turned the tables on his misfortune and insisted on "walking on" with the Los Angeles Rams.
Loneker not only made the team but went on to start by the end of his first season.
While playing in the NFL, a former teammate who was working as an agent called Loneker and told him he had a part for which he thought he"d be perfect. Loneker had never acted before, but made a tape for the audition and the producers hired him from his tape alone.
He was surprised when he landed the role of "White Boy Bob" in Out of Sight. Loneker went on to roles in Rock Star, Superbad, Leatherheads, and Lakeview Terrace.
