attention of Arizona State University basketball assistant coach Doug
Collins and Head Football coach John Cooper. He signed with Arizona
State under the condition that he be allowed to play both football and
basketball for the school. After graduating he went to Spain to play
professional basketball for Barcelona EL of the European League where
he played a full season. After being waived in his second season Leiba

impressed coaches with his tremendous speed and leaping ability. He made
the "Practice Squad" but was soon released when he told head coach
Bobby Ross that he wanted to be an actor and could no longer commit to
sports.
Leiba gained national attention when he won the the TLC'S reality
action show Help Wanted, a spin-off of ABC TV'S The Next Action Hero,
where competitors compete in acting and stunt roles. Leiba again showed
his great athleticism guile and acting ability.
Raw Leiba has gone on to do major movies and motion pictures and was
also one of the top Sportsmodels in the world.
