Keanu Reeves has played in numerous action adventure films where it is not really clear whether he is left-handed or right-handed. In the 2000 football film “The Replacements” he plays a left-handed quarterback named Shane Falco. Falco was a college star who never made it in pro football, until the players went on strike and the teams filled their rosters with “replacement players”. Reeves / Falco turned out to be a pretty good quarterback, although he liked to run just as much as he liked to pass, and he lead his team to numerous victories and to the championship before their few months of glory and the movie came to an end.
