The Knicks weren’t involved in the NBA’s opening tip on Tuesday night, but that didn’t stop Carmelo Anthony from making an appearance on your TV. The Knicks star had a brief cameo in FX’s “Sons of Anarchy” Tuesday night in a bit role as “Cartwright Soldier.” He speaks one steely line, then hands a knife over for a macabre version of what Clyde Frazier would call, “slicing and dicing.”
With a tip of the cap to our friends at Uproxx for brining this to our attention, comes ‘Melo’s brief not-so-shiny moment:

“We got a call,” ‘Melo says and immediately hands over an ominous-looking blade:
We haven’t watched SOA in a while, so more regular followers can fill us in on how ‘Melo performed. Judging from the Vine video, though, it’s clear he takes his thespian work seriously.
Despite the low-profile appearance, Anthony isn’t new to the acting world. He starred in a multi-episode arc of Showtime’s Nurse Jackie as a drug-addled baller named Wayne. He’s also appeared in an episode of Law and Order: SVU with Chris Bosh, and starred in a barely-seen Chinese feature called, Amazing.
The Knicks could use some of ‘Melo’s amazing tonight at 8 p.m. ET when they host the Bulls at Madison Square Garden to start the 2014-15 NBA season.
