The Emmy-winning actor will sing the national anthem at the much-anticipated Packers-Bears game this Sunday, igniting excitement not just among sports fans but also moviegoers.
Nelson’s performance comes ahead of the release of his latest film, Green and Gold, a heartfelt sports drama centered around the Packers’ rich history and its passionate fanbase.

Nelson stars as the inspiring coach, a role that many are calling his most powerful since Coach.
In a recent interview, Nelson shared his enthusiasm for both the anthem performance and the movie. “I’ve always been a fan of the Packers and their incredible story,” he said. “To sing at Lambeau Field ahead of a game as epic as Packers-Bears is a dream come true. And it’s the perfect way to celebrate the release of Green and Gold.”

Adding to the excitement, the Packers organization has embraced the connection between the film and the team. Special game-day promotions will feature sneak peeks of Green and Gold, and fans will have the chance to participate in exclusive giveaways, including signed memorabilia from Nelson himself.
