[edit] Television and movie appearances
Xavier McDaniel made his motion picture debut in 1992 when he made a brief cameo in the film Singles. In that movie, McDaniel appears in a "breaking the fourth wall" fantasy sequence when Campbell Scott begins thinking about the basketball pro while Scott is having an intimate romantic interlude. McDaniel comically tells Campbell Scott's character, "Steve, don't cum yet." A year later McDaniel was featured on the TV sitcom Married… with Children in the Season 8 episode "A Tisket, a Tasket, Can Peg Make a Basket?" McDaniel played an NBA All-Star in that episode who ruffs up lead character Al Bundy after his wife pesters the All-Star during a basketball match.
After retiring McDaniel appeared on Spike TV's televised slamball games where he coached the Riders squad in 2003. Afterwards he made a few apperances on the reality TV game show Pros vs Joes in 2006. Xavier McDaniel played on the Orange "All-Star" Team with fellow NBA star Clyde Drexler on an episode of Pros vs Joes, who coincidentally also appeared with McDaniel on the same Married… with Children episode 13 years earlier.
