Buffalo Bills Mafia Doc adds Chad Michael Murray and NFL vet Andre Reed

NFL Hall of Famer Andre Reed and Buffalo-born actor Chad Michael Murray have signed on as executive producers of the upcoming docuseries “Just One Before I Die,” about the Buffalo Bills fan base.

“Just One Before I Die” tells the definitive story of the Bills Mafia and chronicles the steadfast spirit of the fans as the Buffalo Bills battle for an elusive championship. (The Bills have yet to win a Super Bowl, despite multiple appearances.) The docuseries is co-directed and produced by Buffalo natives Addison Henderson (“Givers of Death,” “The Forgotten City”) and Kevin Polowy (“Standing Up Falling Down”, “In the Shadow of Beirut”) and co-created by Clayton Polowy.

“As so many of us Buffalonians have experienced, I too was born into the Bills mafia. It feels like a birthright to us,” says Murray, born and raised in Clarence, NY, a suburb of Buffalo. “The passion and dedication that comes with being a Bills fan is unparalleled.”

On joining the project, Murray added: “Being part of a docuseries about the fans themselves, who are often the unsung heroes, has been a dream of mine for years and I’m excited to see it become a reality. And to collaborate with my friend and legend Andre Reed, and this entire creative team, it feels like a Bills fan’s imagination come to life. I can’t wait to help celebrate the people who are such a big part of the Buffalo Bills’ lasting legacy.”

Reed, who played wide receiver for the Bills during their historic run of four straight Super Bowl appearances from 1991-1994 and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2014, added: “As someone who lives in the West New York lived and played While I have been in front of that audience for years, I can tell you that the Bills have the most special and most passionate fan base in the NFL. It’s just unparalleled.”

Production on the docuseries began in August as the Bills began the 2024 season, with filming taking place on location in Buffalo; Rochester, NY; Syracuse, NY; Miami; Baltimore; Houston; New York City, as well as locations in New Jersey and Connecticut, so far.

“We are incredibly excited to welcome two of the most prominent members of the Buffalo Bills family and Bills Mafia,” said Kevin Polwoy, an entertainment journalist turned filmmaker, likening Reed and Murray’s participation in the project to “the Bills those two of the best free agents on the market.”

Henderson, who also worked with the late Chadwick Boseman on a number of projects including Marvel’s ‘Black Panther’ and ‘Avengers’ films, said: ‘Their passion and expertise add another special element to this docuseries, allowing us to continue the story of the Bills can tell Mafia in a way that truly captures the heart of this iconic fanbase. Together we bring something special to life.”
