Night Court alumnus John Larroquette and Tyler Hoechlin co-star in actor-turned-director Keith Bogart's short feature The Rapture of the Athlete Assumed into Heaven. The film concerns a reporter (Larroquette) interviewing a tennis star who achieves his greatest athletic triumph - and greatest concomitant thrill - on the final day of his life. Novelist Don DeLillo adapted the work from his own play.
