Sean Avery played for the Detroit Red Wings between 2001-03. He made a name here and it's hard to forget him.
Fast forward: Avery retired from the NHL in March of 2012 and is now an aspiring actor.
Avery is set to star in an off-Broadway play called "Negative is Positive."
According to the New York Post, Avery began to get agitated. An assistant reportedly asked Avery if he would like a piece of pizza. (Who doesn't like pizza?) Here is what the post had to say about the incident:
A young assistant stage manager named Natalie asked the athlete-turned-actor if he wanted a slice of pizza, he said no, but somehow thought the assistant had called him an "a–hole."
"He said I was 'talking s–t' and said I was 'so full of s–t,'" Natalie, who was left in tears, told us. "That's when I realized that I was dealing with a madman."
The show is set to open in New York this Thursday.
