What was LeBron James's first credited feature film acting role?

LeBron James’s first credited feature-film acting role was in Trainwreck.

Released in 2015, Judd Apatow’s romantic comedy casts James as a fictionalized version of himself. He plays a close friend and outspoken adviser to Bill Hader’s character, a sports surgeon whose relationship with Amy Schumer’s character drives the story. James’s comic timing and willingness to parody his public image made the supporting part unusually memorable.

James had appeared on television, in commercials, and in the documentary More Than a Game, which followed his high-school basketball team. Those appearances are often cited as screen credits, but Trainwreck is generally treated as his first genuine feature-film acting role rather than a documentary appearance as himself.

The performance preceded larger movie work, including his starring role in Space Jam: A New Legacy and his voice role as Gwangi in the animated film Smallfoot. The options Blue Chips and He Got Game are associated with other basketball players, not James.
