Shortly after that, he was initiated into a group of die-hard Longhorns that are in the front row of the student section at every Texas football game.\u00a0<\/p>\nPowe says they camp out at least three hours before every game, if not overnight for big games like the Red River Rivalry, Texas A&M and more recently, Ohio State. As he started making more content with Texas football, he was discovered by an agent who encouraged him to audition for a “Crazy College Kid” role in\u00a0McConaughey and Harrleson’s new show, which she thought he’d be perfect for.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“I was just like gagged,” Powe said. “And when she tells me that I got it, it was like such a surreal moment for me.”<\/p>\n
First announced in 2023, Brothers stars the pair as versions of themselves based on a rumor that McConaughey and Harrelson are unknowingly half brothers. Powe filmed in December 2025 and described working with both Texas stars\u00a0as a dream come true. He said McConaughey recognized him from the games and even gave him some acting advice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“That whole day was just like a fever dream, honestly,” Powe said. “But it was like cool to get to work with them. It was a very fun set, fun environment and then all the other actors that I was in the scene with, they were super cool.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
While this is Powe’s first professional acting gig, he said he’s excited to see where the opportunity takes him next and will\u00a0continue to hype up UT fans every chance he gets on and off the field.<\/p>\n
“I hope that people see this and they laugh and they find joy in it,” Powe said. “I hope to keep getting opportunities to act and to bring people joy. That’s why I try to do this, and so you know any opportunities that I’m going to get to do that, I’m going to take very gratefully.”<\/p>\n
