Langi Tuifua had NFL aspirations.
After helping Bingham High School to win a trio of state titles, the highly-recruited defensive lineman was eager to excel in college football at Brigham Young University.
“Football was my entire life,” Tuifua said.
The dream came crashing down when the chiseled, 6-foot-3 Polynesian athlete suffered a career-ending neck injury. It was one of the worst moments of his life.
Five years later, Tuifua has a new passion and career path in acting, and he just played one of the most iconic figures in the Book of Mormon Videos series of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
