EX-REDSKIN RIGGINS TO LAUNCH ACTING CAREER

He believes he can do the same in an acting career he is about to launch.

Riggins will be in "Illegal Motion," a production of the Olney Theatre in Washington, where the Hall of Fame back had some outstanding performances with the Redskins.

Riggins is thinking beyond the June opening of the play in which he plays the role of a coach. His newly hired agent is talking with television people about possible roles, and Riggins is thinking of taking acting lessons.
