Reggie Miller was set to appear in the 1997 Tupac Shakur film "Gang Related," but his scene ended up on the cutting-room floor.
Miller made the revelation Tuesday during an appearance on "The Dan Patrick Show" after being asked if he'd ever met the late rapper.
"I played me as a hot dog vendor," Miller said, according to Complex Sports' Chris Yuscavage. "It was during the first (NBA) lockout (in 1995). I was supposed to have fallen on hard times, and I was a hot dog vendor. But it didn't make the movie."
The scene included dialogue between himself, Tupac, and Jim Belushi.
"It was pretty funny actually," Miller said. "I can't believe it didn't make it."
