WASHINGTON — Washington Redskins linebacker Khairi Fortt will play Skins legend Sean Taylor in a television show set to portray Taylor’s murder in 2007.
Investigation Discovery channel’s “The Perfect Murder” will show how the police solved the home invasion-turned-murder using a combination of real-life interviews with both living family members and family members with scenes dramatizing the events of Nov. 26, 2007.
Fortt’s father Guy will play Taylor’s father Pedro, as Guy has past working experience with the producers of the show.
Fortt, drafted in the fourth round by New Orleans in 2014 out of California, was born in D.C. and has bounced around the NFL with stops in Cincinnati, Jacksonville and Seattle before signing a reserve/future contract with Washington this past January.
Fortt’s episode will air in June on Investigation Discovery.
