On The Newsroom, Crews plays the bodyguard of Jeff Daniels' character—as many may know, Daniels is a CMU chippewa.
Crews is also in talks to develop a spin off of the movie Idiocracy. In the comedy, Crews played the memorable character, President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Comacho. The film, a less-than hit in the theaters, has become a cult favorite. The character will be making a comeback sometime soon, although the medium is yet to be fully determined.

Crews was also featured in a recent article about always having his game face on, "Crews laughs. He laughs a lot. But when he isn't laughing, he can scare you half to death with just a scowl." The good natured actor and former football pro began making jokes to let people know everything was o.k. He calls himself 'The Amusement Park' because it,—like him—can be scary and funny all at once.
