Superstar quarterback LaMarcus James sends powerful ripples of chaos, fear, rage and uncertainty throughout the big-time college football industry when he boycotts the national championship game -- a contest that he was supposed to be playing in.

Actor Stephan James talks to rolling out about playing the juicy role of the antagonist (LeMarcus) holding the biggest game of the year hostage.
