Between his 2016 departure from LSU and his hiring in November as head football coach at the University of Kansas, Les Miles has added a new line to his résumé: movie star.

Miles is among the featured cast of the upcoming independent film “The Challenger Disaster: The Untold True Story,” the debut feature from writer-director Nathan VonMinden.

Co-starring “Lois & Clark” actor Dean Cain, the film chronicles what is described in publicity materials as “a desperate race against the clock to stop the launch and the subsequent cover-up and whistleblowing” associated with NASA’s doomed 1986 Challenger space shuttle mission.
