He's always had moves.
You could say that Patrick Renna has found his niche in lighthearted sports humor.
Back in the 90s, the actor played the forever quotable character Ham in "The Sandlot,â followed by his role of a scene-stealing goalie in âThe Big Green.â
And now, at the age of 44 and a father of two, Renna is still bringing a little laughter to the sports worldâŠone dance move at a time.
Back in 2022, Renna and his two best friends âbrothers Caige and Cru Mooreâwent viral for their interpretive NFL theme song dance, based on choreography created by other social media sensations Austin and Marideth Telenko (better known as Cost n' Mayor).

The clip was so popular that the NFL on Prime Videoâs official account reached out to ask why their theme song wasnât included. Renna and the gang were ready to right the wrong.
According to an interview with Good Morning America, dancing on TikTok had been a suggestion of one of Rennaâs Gen Z friends. Knowing he would never do something like that alone, he enlisted the help of Caige and Cru to make their âChubby Gingerâ dance crew.
They also get some choreography help from more dance inclined friends, of course. Like Rennaâs childhood friends and actress Lynsey Moore, who âdumbs downâ the moves and âyells at [them] for an hour straight to get it together and be in sync,â he told GMA.
Sometimes they even get help from mega pop stars likeâŠ.I dunno⊠LIZZO.
Thatâs right. After the groupâs "About Damn Time" routine got 10.7 million views, the singer reached out herself and offered to give them a hand on nailing some of the moves.

And hey, if you prefer to just bask in nostalgia, Renna also has a few videos reliving some of those fan favorite movie moments.
Itâs always nice to see when the kid actors from our beloved childhood movies grow up to live healthy, wholesome lives. And Renna certainly seems to be one of those, happy to do whatever dance people throw his wayâŠexcept maybe the truffle shuffle.
